LSAT PT72, S2 Logical Reasoning, Q12, Humans’ emotional tendencies are essentially unchanged …

Written By RCT

Why is the answer (E) and not (D)?

(D) is interesting but it's a little strong. The argument doesn't depend on or assume humans make decisions based on their emotions ALONE. The argument doesn't, for example, deny that logic may play a part.

(E) is the answer. If it helps, let's negate it: It's false that humans would make better choices today if an essential emotional change had taken place. The negation is a bit rough but it does reflect how devastating it would be towards the argument.
