Critical Reasoning

OA after some discussion

Good one!!!
Let me ponder over!!

Q18 I think C is the answer.

Q19, I elimated B, C & E. Between A & D. A seems out of place from the rest of the answer choices and D could be true so I would choose A, but not with confidence.

for 18th answer is is B & 19th D

for 18th answer is is B & 19th D

for 18th answer is is B & 19th D

18 C Author admits that the car was damaged in Peter's case and not in Alicia's case... but it looks like a way to acknowledge the opposite side. It cannot be B because he wants Alicia to also be convincted

19 E
Conclusion states that Alicia should also be charged for theft.

Only E shows makes a strong case to refute the conclusion. It shows that Alicia was a good driver whereas Peter was a repeat offender which led to the difference in the way the two cases were handled by the police.

for 18--c
for 19--E

OA

18. C

19. C

Is there an explaination of why 19 is C? I went with D. These are great questions, btw... for some reason i find lsat questions much easier than gmat

There is no explanation for the question. Even I'm looking for some explanations.

Out of the ridiculous options C and A make sense to me as well.

I presume they are LSAT Q, as some other voices too is being made it seems it is useless to involve LSAT prep in GMAT, this Q and similes could be a prime example....

I believe the answer should be C
