maybe im thinking too much but we can't just assume Wally's is a large nursery, or can we? that's what messed me up, because it does not say it is (it could be anything) but then again this is a MSS so idk
I picked C on the actual and E on the BR. I blanked on whether we swap conjunctives that are in the necessary condition to the sufficient condition after contraposing them. That's what I ended up doing, which led to me choosing the wrong answer. Now I have to go back and see how to contrapose conjunctives in the necessary condition 😢
I mapped it out and my answer was "Then Wally's isn't a large nursery and thus his berries aren't disease free." I got tripped up considering that the language in most of these answers seemed vague in not outrightly saying "disease-free"; instead, they used "not entirely as they were guaranteed to be."
Did diagramming mess anyone else’s brain up? I used to get these a little more intuitively. Not sure how to go back to how I use to think of these questions lol
Let's all manifest: One day we will all be studying actual laws in law school and will look back on all the hours we studied how to solve hypothetical riddles and laugh.
It’s so easy once you see the answer. I got it right, but spent too much time. And then I see the answer and I’m just like duh. If Wally’s is large, then we know two things. The first thing (commercial growers) is irrelevant. The second thing is that they probably guarantee their plants. And since the plant failed a virus-free guarantee, then it was probably not as guaranteed.
It sucks to get these questions wrong on both the Actual and the BR, but hey at the very least its showing me and helping me admit my weak areas. Just gotta remember to stay positive when facing adversity. I may be bad at this type of question, but I am only bad at them at this point in time. With patience, perseverance, self-confidence, and probably a little luck and nudge from the Big Guy Upstairs™ I will be better at them come test day
This is the sketchiest question I've viewed to date. the word "guaranteed" apparently doesn't have to mean "guaranteed." I thought we should assume that the stimulus is true. Doesn't that mean guarantee means guarantee????
@npf87 My thoughts exactly. If something is guaranteed – shouldn't it be...guaranteed? But I think its because the guarantee is on the claim — not the outcome.
@npf87 I also had this issue. I realized its an annoying grammar mistake. The stim is basically saying "they only sell plants they guarantee to be disease free" This is like saying they sell the guarantee. Therefore in the conditional (and answers) the negation would be like "they were not guaranteed"
If it said "they only sell disease-free plants" then it would be a conditional sell --> disease-free

I am doing so bad on these :( I was on a roll until this section of the LR
1/1

Changed my answer choice at the last minute
Feeling proud, didn't understand at first but we got there! Once it clicked I was like.. oh its really that simple 🥲

If I become a lawyer I'm suing LSAC first
@BenjaminWellington oh please do, this is is crazy man
:)

lowk I hated this one

OVER TIME BUT I GOT ITTTT
this one is outrageously difficult lol

@ManusWeber Is this a valid argument? Lol
got this right from POE
ive gotten all the 5 difficulty right so far this is a miracle
@yam omg same I'm impressed and feeling good with myself. Congrats!
GODDAM these are hard af.
3 max difficult questions in a row is diabolical. BUT, I will survive. One foot in front of the other.
I think it's easier to understand why the other choices are incorrect if you make the logic chain. The main chain says: LN -m- CG and DFG
A: It just doesn't make sense, because we know that large nurseries have the guarantee but we have no idea about small or medium ones.
B: /DFG → /C. We know by now that "most" chains are not reversible and even if it was, this doesn't follow the original chain whatsoever
C: /C → /LN. Again, "most" chains are not reversible.
D: Sells to C → /LN. The original chain says the exact opposite and "most" chains are not reversible
By POE we can tell it's E.
i just don't have the energy anymore
@JW2K you better keep going!

@npf87 this is exactly what I have been thinking about... I don't understand

Therefore in the conditional (and answers) the negation would be like "they were not guaranteed"

WAY OVER TIME BUT GOT IT RIGHT W/O BLIND REVIEW IM LEARNING!!!
