I mistakenly identified plants that are guaranteed to be disease-free as plants that are disease-free. Companies can guarantee that their food is disease-free, but still have their food carrying diseases, just like how I can promise to work hard today, but still end up scrolling reels.
Eliminated till the last choice and got super confused why this question has to do with guarantees.
Found this one kinda dumb. So if they sell ONLY plants guaranteed to be disease-free then the guarantee can still be moot? What's the point of a guarantee then? I see why the other choices are less supported though.
YESSSSS!! 1:15 over but got it right. I used process of elimination, getting rid of answer choices I immediately doubted and couldn’t support with the information in the stimulus.
I don't know about the video explanation for why C is wrong. C doesn't claim that all large nurseries do business primarily with commercial growers. A large nursery can sell mostly to commercial growers and still sell to most of the non-commercial growers if there aren't that many non-commercial growers. C claims that most non-commercial growers buy from non-large nurseries. The issue is that you can't take a contrapositive of a most claim. If these were non-intersecting sets, C would be correct.
So because there was no additional modifier added after "and" we must use the modifier "most" from the beginning of the sentence. So the sentence essentially said "most large nurseries sell plants and most large nurseries guarantee"not "most large nurseries sell plans and guarantee"
then for Answer choice B, if in another world, we have gotten the relationship Ln -> disease free can we make it contraspositive: /diseasefree -> /Ln, which makes Wally the Ln?
I was tricked into working out the problem like a Must Be True question type and overcomplicated the process!! It was a sneaky MSS--which requires a different approach and relies more on INFERENCE!!
Is it fair to say that "most" in any stimulus correlates to "probably" in an answer choice? (All the answer choices here used some kind of "probably" statement.) Could it go the other way as well? A "probably" in the stimulus and a "most" in the correct answer choice?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong- but as someone who missed this question the first time and blind review.. I am only understanding that the answer is E because by realizing that "Most" applies to both "sells to commercial growers" and "guarantee disease-free plants", it also acknowledges the existence that there is a possibility that some do not do one or the other, or both. (Because it used "most" and not "all".)
Thus, the statement can also be understood as: "SOME large nurseries do not sell to commercial growers and some do not only sell guaranteed disease-free plants. By seeing it this way, it makes E correct because if Wally's Plants is a large nursery, there is a chance that it is part of the "some" that does not do either of the 2 (in this case- it did not sell guaranteed disease-free plants).
The wording in E is weird though and I hated this question :c

learning to take my time and understand before I dive into answering the question with the time constraint. slow and steady will win the race!!

The passage take about most large nurseries probably (most likely) guarantee disease free plants. Doesnt most+most = some?
Over 1:20 but finalllyyyy got this down!! and its a hard level question :)

Getting them right but takes me 3+ minutes
I have been struggling with MSS questions but got this one right!!
Really tough question but I got it right. The LSAT writers are very crafty!
So because there was no additional modifier added after "and" we must use the modifier "most" from the beginning of the sentence. So the sentence essentially said "most large nurseries sell plants and most large nurseries guarantee" not "most large nurseries sell plans and guarantee"
Am I understanding this correctly?
I've been struggling with MSS question types and I got this one right!!
omg i got it right and did it under time...
I don't understand how E is the right answer because it doesn't specify that Johnson is a commercial raspberry grower.
#help How do I know to combine the 'and' and not to combine??
LN -> Comm and Guarantee
then for Answer choice B, if in another world, we have gotten the relationship Ln -> disease free can we make it contraspositive: /diseasefree -> /Ln, which makes Wally the Ln?
somehow i completely missed the "most"! I think I rush through these but I need to remember to go slowwww for now
I got it right but it took me 8 minutes lol
I'm always second guessing myself :(
I got it right on the Blind review but this question hurt my brain
I was tricked into working out the problem like a Must Be True question type and overcomplicated the process!! It was a sneaky MSS--which requires a different approach and relies more on INFERENCE!!
how do you know when to not combine?
i got this wrong because i mapped it out like this:
LN -m-> sell rasp to comm. + sell only DF
Is it fair to say that "most" in any stimulus correlates to "probably" in an answer choice? (All the answer choices here used some kind of "probably" statement.) Could it go the other way as well? A "probably" in the stimulus and a "most" in the correct answer choice?
So the only thing I was confused about was how is the "and" here is separated bc I would have put those two claims together.
like:
large nursery -m-> commercial and only disease free
