Hi, piyushkush.

What is the source of this question? It seems to be a problematic version of this problem from the Official Guide. [The Official Guide version has a clear answer in the way that this question doesn't.]

The Iroquois were primarily planters, but supplementing their cultivation of maize, squash, and beans with fishing and hunting.

(A) but supplementing
(B) and had supplemented
(C) and even though they supplemented
(D) although they supplemented
(E) but with supplementing

Hi David,

I think I read this in a LSAT paper. I am not sure.

Regards,

Hi piyushkush,

The LSAT does not have any questions on SCs, so that can't be it. You really have no idea about the source of this question? How did you find it?
