Hello Powerscore,

Can someone kindly help with what C is saying?

While A is directly contradicted in the stimulus, how is C supported?

Is it because the raising of the humidity makes the dry air cooler? If so, the stimulus also tells us that we feel warmer. How is the cooling of dry air making us feel warmer?

Hi PresidentLSAT,

Actually C is saying that dry air can feel cooler than humid air that is the same temperature. So if dry air feels cooler than humid air, the opposite is true--humid air feels warmer than dry air, which is exactly what the stimulus says.

Consider an example, it's 75 degrees--if it's dry out, it feels like 73, but if it's humid, it feels more like 80 (you can really feel this on a hot humid day!).

Hope that helps!
