From the last sentence, I translated it to: (fish, no bird) → gerbils. Thus, in my head, the contrapositive was /gerbils → /(fish, no bird). Through that logic, I picked D. However, I wonder if that logic is flawed because I didn't even think of the and/or rules.
This is a genuine question - Is it bad that I am not having to map out any of these types of questions? I have found these to be very intuitive, but I'm worried I'll screw myself in the long run if I'm not mapping these out like J.Y.
I felt like a damn child drawing the set circles (in different colors sob) from the fundamentals part of the course...but I got it right on the first try! This was a difficult one for sure.
For people who are having a hard time with this overcomplicated video explanation, try and solve the question first before going into the video walk through. I've been doing this and found I understand the questions when I attempt them first, and when I watch the explanation after it honestly confuses me more when I wasn't even confused in the first place.
I always look at the question before starting the video and try to find an answer. I started with D and then switched to B. That was so much, and I don't even really understand how B is wrong, but I do understand why D is right.

Can someone help me determine when "but" because "and" vs "or?"

Hi, does anyone have an easier approach? Im a bit confused
hell nah
Got it right, but used a slightly different approach. I don't know if I should be worried or not.
I don't really understand how the negation works in answer choice D
i thought i understood this, but the more i look into it the more confused i get #help #someonedumbitdown
"you got a thing for De Morgan?"
Got this right but boy did it take time! I'm glad that at least my logic and approach was same to J.Ys. A win is a win ig
I hope I dont get a question like this on the LSAT haha

nah this one confused me so badly. Still dont really get how its not B.
For this type of questions: remember to find contrapositive of the answer choice that might be right

HIDEOUS.
wthelly
mega logic chain in the stimulus AND THEN the right answer is a contrapositive??? 😢
This was tough in a fun kind of way with all those conditionals, gotta practice these kinds of complicated questions to get my time down though.
I got this correct, I am so happy!!!
yeah bro this is crazy
ts lowkey hurt my brain
im cooked
