@jane_121

That is the tough part there are no explanations for these questions, it is good and bad at the same time. Since the questions are LSAT level, most answers are correct, but getting there means reading and reading and understanding how the answer could be arrived at (this is the tricky part :)

One thing you could try is try and find the passages or CR questions on forums like BTG, MGMAT or urch using the key word search function.

Hope this helps!
