From 1 to 5, 5 being the toughest.
Legal theorist: Only two types of theories of criminal sentencing can be acceptable—retributivist theories, which hold that the purpose of sentences is simply to punish, and rehabilitationist theories, which hold that a sentence is a means to reform the offender. A retributivist theory is not acceptable unless it conforms to the principle that the harshness of a punishment should be proportional to the seriousness of the offense. Retributivist theories that hold that criminals should receive longer sentences for repeat offenses than for an initial offense violate this principle, since repeat offenses may be no more serious than the initial offense.
Which one of the following can be properly inferred from the legal theorist’s statements?
(A) No rehabilitationist theory holds that punishing an offender is an acceptable means to reform that offender.
(B) Reforming a repeat offender sometimes requires giving that offender longer sentences for the repeat offenses than for the initial offense.
(C) Any rehabilitationist theory that holds that criminals should receive longer sentences for repeat offenses than for an initial offense is an acceptable theory.
(D) All theories of criminal sentencing that conform to the principle that the harshness of a punishment should be proportional to the seriousness of the offense are acceptable.
(E) A theory of criminal sentencing that holds that criminals should receive longer sentences for repeat offenses than for an initial offense is acceptable only if it is a rehabilitationist theory.

you really don’t know the median LSAT score?
hint: it’s the same as for any scaled test...divide the max score range by 2 and add to the floor

I settled on B before I got to E. I then saw a chorus of xo poas answering E.
I'd say 3/4.

D might throw off some retards who don’t understand the difference between “if” as one of potentially many conditions vs “if” as the only condition. necessary vs sufficient, etc. It’s probably the least retarded of the dumb answers but still represents a pretty fundamental error in logic.

OK LSAT mastermen, what about this one? How difficult would this be for students?
Psychotherapists who attempt to provide psychotherapy on radio or television talk shows are expected to do so in ways that entertain a broad audience. However, satisfying this demand is nearly always incompatible with providing high-quality psychological help. For this reason, psychotherapists should never provide psychotherapy on talk shows.
Which one of the following principles must be assumed in order for the psychologist’s conclusion to be properly drawn?
(A) It is never appropriate for psychotherapists to attempt to entertain a broad audience.
(B) The context in which psychological help is presented has a greater impact on its quality than the nature of the advice that is given.
(C) Psychotherapy should never be provided in a context in which there is any chance that the therapy might be of less than high quality.
(D) Most members of radio and television talk show audiences are seeking entertainment rather than high-quality psychological help.
(E) Psychotherapists should never attempt to provide psychological help in a manner that makes it unlikely to be of high quality

okay cool, I was right the first time
you bros had me second guessing
I think the differentiator here is "any chance" vs. "makes it unlikely"
it's impossible to give psychological advice without ANY chance whatsoever of it being less than high quality. The missing piece of the argument is that if the context makes it UNLIKELY, then you shouldn't do it
at least that's how I got there

E
E is better than c bc it restricts it to psychotherapists as opposed to any type of psychological help
Also c is too strong in restricting it to any chance of less than high quality therapy
Idk 3?

E, probably 3-4 in difficulty.
C could mislead you. The difference is that "nearly always incompatible" translates to "unlikely to be of high quality", not "any chance that the therapy might be of less than high quality".
There's a chance the therapy could be of less than high quality anywhere....
