characteristics of the right answers for MSS questions in LR
Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2012 2:23 pm
I finished drilling the Most Strongly Support LR question types from CambridgeLSAT, and overall I feel most of the right answer choices seem to have a common characteristic in the language: vague, ambiguous, or sort of wishy-washy, not big, limited scope. Unless the stimulus uses strong words like "any, all, everything, etc", the answer choices that have these strong words are mostly wrong.
In addition, I found characteristics for most of the wrong answers:
1. Unwarranted comparison between the two or multiple things mentioned in the stimulus (e.g. A is better than B)
2. Alleged proportional change between the things mentioned (e.g. more hypertensive temper gives rise to higher risk of heart attack)
3. Predictive answers (e.g. based on the most recent poll, Romney will win the election)
4. Proposed a solution (e.g. Pilots should avoid landing in foggy airports)
what do you guys find/think? MSS questions seemed to be the hardest to me.
