I got it right but was 47 secs over. I'm understanding the concept, thanks 7Sage :). But reading the question and all the answer choices takes up a lot of time :(
Am I tripping because I'm not connecting the dots from inspired performances being present, being reliant on sophisticated listeners. The way I processed it was there could be inspired musical performances, but they would not be received as a "good show" if there were no sophisticated listeners to understand it. I understand the lawgic when it is drawn out and the indicators, however, I think I didn't take the chain as literal as you are supposed to. My unfortunate assumption led me to believe a good show required both IMP and SL, but not that IMPs being present required SL. Usually this would make sense but the chain should be taken as literal and I am having trouble with this. Jeez this incredibly long comment makes me think I'm over complicating things.
Ok, I understand how to analyze questions like this in terms of Lawgic, and it makes much more sense than English. However I'm doing it super slowly. Is it actually viable to translate each question into Lawgic or will I run out of time on test day?
I screwed it up cause I used "must" as a necessary condition indicator, and reversed the last statement. I know they always say these indicator words are under and over inclusive, but how should I know when that will be the case?
Wondering if I'm overcomplicating/if this will get me into trouble later, but for D, just because there are people in the audience that don't understand their musical roots doesn't mean that there are no people that do, right? Probably not necessary to point that out, but I feel like that makes D wrong for two reasons.
Made a massive beginner mistake, since ive gotten everything right so far I tried to do this one quickly and under time, but none of the answers sufficed to me, instead of slowing down and not worrying about the time I picked an option I knew did not make sense.... remember kids this is just PRACTICE!!!! (saying this to myself)
i got it right (yay!) but it did take me 5 minutes to get there after translating the stim and each answer choice. i suppose i couldve stopped translating each answer choice when i saw A matched the translation for the stim, but i was worried i did it wrong and wanted to check every answer.
It seems that all the work we've done so far can lead to overthinking these true LSAT questions. The ability to trust what you've learned seems like the way to go and apply it from there. At least in my opinion.
So my flow of logic was inspired -> good show -> sophisticated -> musical roots, or a-> b -> c. For some reason I automatically assumed the answer would be along the lines of a -> c, and got tripped up for a second when there was nothing like that. Are these types of questions generally going to have the answer of a-> c? or is it usually a mix?
I have a question: couldn't D technically be the right answer if we just negated the other part of the sentence? It would turn into: people who understand musical roots --> good show. Wouldn't that fall in line with what we diagrammed and thus be the right answer?
My instant gut answer was A but I spent about 6 minutes going through every answer to make sure. Got it right still but like... the second guessing is brutal with these
For Answer C, when we come across "at least one", do we just read it as "must be true", since that would encompass "at least one"?

So you can go left to right, but you can't go right to left? Just double checking

that took me 8.5 mins and I still got it wrong lmfao but in blind review I got it. sighhhh lots and lots of grinding ahead
I understand the logic, but it takes time for me to really understand it.

When a sentence has two indicator words, you are choosing to use the indicator word that serves as "glue" between two clauses- correct?
I.e.: No people who understand their musical roots will be in the audience, if the audience will not be treated to a good show.
Thanks!

I keep getting them right without fully underdstanding the lawgic/translating aspect. ack.

Struggling to wrap my head around this question... does anyone have any tips?

I got this right with lawgic, but it took me 2 and a half minutes, any tips on improving speed?
I have a question: couldn't D technically be the right answer if we just negated the other part of the sentence? It would turn into:
people who understand musical roots-->good show.Wouldn't that fall in line with what we diagrammed and thus be the right answer?[This comment was deleted.]
i accidentally saw it as music-> good instead of good -> music which tripped me up. I gotta internalize that the conditionals only go one way
Got it first try, it just took me long to do in my head because I didn't have paper.
I appreciate all the reassurance the instructor gives. I really feel like I can do it lol
My instant gut answer was A but I spent about 6 minutes going through every answer to make sure. Got it right still but like... the second guessing is brutal with these
Good news: I diagrammed everything perfectly.
Bad news: I confused Necessary for Sufficient and chose E instead of A.
Good news: I got it right and fully understand how I arrived at a confident answer
Bad news: it took me 9 minutes to work through lmao
For Answer C, when we come across "at least one", do we just read it as "must be true", since that would encompass "at least one"?
