Thank you for explaining the terms. Many companies, for example, say "pivot" but then they don't explain what the have in mind by "pivot". Thus, they make the whole learning process twice as confusing.
No rules are universal on the LSAT. While words like "clearly" and "should" can help you find a conclusion, there's another grammatical structure at play here. The ", and" indicates that the last two claims work in cooperation with each other. That helps you rule out both parts of the second sentence from being the conclusion.
No, that's too strongly worded, unfortunately. Most things on LSAT are tendencies but not absolutes. You can use a PIVOT word to go into your premise or your conclusion. It's definitely used much more often to go into a conclusion, but you don't want to equate "But / yet / however" with "Conclusion Indicator". Here, it goes into the conclusion: A lot of people think that pizza is kids' favorite food. But they're wrong. Many pizzas are too saucy for picky kids, whereas any store bought mac-n-cheese box will go over without complaint. Here, it goes into a premise: A lot of people think that pizza is kids' favorite food. But many pizzas are too saucy for picky kids, whereas mac-n-cheese always satisfies. Thus, they're wrong.
I’m still having trouble differentiating between the premise vs. conclusion as answer choices. Particularly, the last example that’s given. 15:30 Can anyone help explain this better for me? Like why isn’t it B or D, instead of E?
Answer (B) is most similar to the very last sentence of the argument. We've identified the second to last sentence as the conclusion and the last sentence as the premise. We were able to identify them as such based on the pattern of rebuttals (i.e., refutation of an opposing point). We could also say that answer choice (B) isn't even something stated in the argument. Nowhere does it say that early discussions were about factors other than global warming that affect the frequency and intensity of storms. Answer (D) is wrong for similar reasons. First, it's a paraphrase of the last sentence, when the conclusion is the second to last sentence. Second, the paraphrase is a bit problematic. The argument refers to factors, such as instabilities in wind flow, but that makes room for other factors that this answer does not include. Also, this answer says "negate" when the argument says "counteract." The LSAT likes to have multiple reasons to point to when identifying the incorrectness. This means if you don't see a reason why an answer is wrong, just focus on another difference between the answers and you'll likely have better luck.

I was having a hard time distinguishing the intermediate and main conclusion, but your video was a tremendous help. Thank you so much!
This videos have been extremely helpful! Thank you so much for making them!

really good explanation
Hi! Just a quick question. Is main conclusion the same as main point?
OMG! this is amazing!!!!
Question number 2 is kind of confusing because I thought the word "clearly" was a conclusion indicator. Why doesn't it apply to this example?

Keep it up
I learned alot thanks
could we say that whenever there is a pivot, the opposition sentence following it is gonna be the conclusion?

@@LSATLab Thank you!
Main conclusion questions simplified.
Why can’t you include the facts in the conclusion like in answer B?
