Watch expert LSAT tutor, Stefan Maisnier, demonstrate how to proactively identify engage a given prompt by highlighting the phenomenon requiring an explanation as the de fact conclusion of a Logical Reasoning prompt to inform a broad prediction of what would explain that phenomenon proactively using Question 20 from Section 2 of LSAT PrepTest 158. Then, watch as Stefan proactively seeks four choices that would help explain the phenomenon to ensure that he appropriately addresses the task of finding the one exception in the choices that does not help to explain the situation described. By watching this demonstration that uses free official resources from lawhub.lsac.org, you will learn how to execute a similar style of EXCEPT task evaluation using the available interface highlighting tools to guarantee that you won't accidentally select one of the choices that does accomplish the task in the affirmative on similar questions on a future practice or official LSAT.

LSAC LawHub LSAT PrepTest 158 Logical Reasoning Section 2, Question 20:

A research psychologist used a personality test to classify high school students as "repressors"--people who repress upsetting thoughts and feelings from conscious awareness--or as "sensitizers"--those especially attuned to internal states who freely express distress. The researcher found that, compared to sensitizers, the repressors were less shy and anxious, could better tolerate frustration, and had superior social skills, higher grades, and a greater sense of self-esteem.

20. Each one of the following, if true, contributes to an explanation of the repressors' characteristics mentioned above EXCEPT:

A) Repressors are better able than sensitizers to focus on their work and to avoid distractions.
B) Repressors are less apt than sensitizers to alienate people by expressing their emotions.
C) Parents and other caregivers tend to reward repressors more than they reward sensitizers for academic performance and social behavior deemed desirable.
D) Some psychologists have hypothesized that the desire to maintain social and academic success and self-esteem strengthens repressors' tendency to repress upsetting thought and feelings. (Correct)
E) Sensitizers tend to focus more than repressors do on the difficulties of succeeding in their projects rather than on factors that are likely to contribute to success.
