Blank Spaces

[jgray]

Sometimes while doing LR questions, a stem or answer choices will have unusual blank spaces as if words are missing. They do not appear to be left or right justified, so it doesn't look like a formatting issue. Can you explain what is happening in these questions?
thank you.

Hey J,

Thanks for the question! I'm not entirely sure what you mean—can you attach a pic perhaps?

Thanks!

I conducted a cursory search of practice tests (where I normally see them) to no avail, but I found a blank (although small) on page 9-133 question 40.

Hey J,

Thanks for that reference—I just checked that and that shouldn't be there! I can see what it is though—the formatting on LSAT questions is rather intricate, and when questions get moved around, or when the document itself has formatting changes, it occasionally knocks lines off of alignment, resulting in the space. So, although I've seen actual LSAT questions with an spacing problem (super rare), that's not what was going on here and that's an error. I'll have every question checked in all those books, adn we'll look to eliminate any extra space we find. If you do find another and want to tell us about it, the direct email of Bekki, our Publications Manager, is bcait at (@) powerscore.com (I didn't write it all out so as to avoid her getting spammed massively ). She will fix anything immediately.

Hopefully you don't see it again, or if you do it's only once or twice! Great eye there and thanks for positing back. I really appreciate it!
