I would strongly dissuade anyone from practicing RC from LSAT passages. I did a lot of these and found them to be very different from the GMAT-type passages that you come across in the OGs or Manhattan RC book. The question types are different and even the subject matter has a lot of topics that aren't really tested on the GMAT.
Apart from the quest type and passage toipic what matters is the Passage structure and finding the Main Idea . LSAT passages could be a good practice for this

If you feel like you're under control, you're just not going fast enough. A goal without a plan is just a wish. You can go higher, you can go deeper, there are no boundaries above or beneath you.

What is the source? Be careful of this type of questions you find in the internet. Sometimes, those questions are not GMAT type, having a negative effect in your real exam.

Please, post good quality questions from a reliable source. A low quality question destroys your score.
