    For question #14 for LSAT 41 Section 2, game 2, I’m still confused as to how C is a better answer or even a different answer from A.

      Hey Anita, I’m not sure if you’re enrolled in our full course so I don’t know if you’ll have access to the lesson but this is a foundational concept in In/Out Games. The distinction between (A) and (C) is the distinction between “not both” and “either or” in In/Out Games and it’s something the LSAT tests on all the time. If you are enrolled, the first lesson is here: http://7sage.com/lesson/not-both-v-or-truth-tables

      (A) G H have a relationship that says “G –> /H” whereas (C) H W have a relationship that says “/H –> W”. (A) is positive to negative. (C) is negative to positive. That’s the difference.

      In the G and H relationship, as soon as G is in, H has to be out. Contrapositive says as soon as H is in, G has to be out. They cannot both be in at the same time. At least one must be out at all times. At most one could be in at anytime. Both could be out. That’s the essence of a “not both” relationship.

      In the H and W relationship, as soon as H is out, W has to be in. Contrapositive says as soon as W is out, H has to be in. They cannot both be out as the same time. At least one must be in at all times. At most one could be out at anytime. Both could be in. That’s the essence of a “either or” relationship.

      Hope this helps!
