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,
Piyushkush

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?

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
