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
Surprisingly got this one right after getting the last few wrong, but i was 16 seconds over... i think it was from the notation of writing everything with the arrows down first.
Thing I struggled with was applying the "Most" to the "sell only plants that are guaranteed to be disease-free." E doesn't make a lot of sense if you don't, which I guess shows why grammar is so important when it comes to these more difficult questions.

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

These MSS Conditional types are the bane of my existence!!!
Most applies to both predicates. I did not catch that the first time I attempted this question.
Why did I make this mistake? Still searching for answers.

feel like somehow pat is behind this
i'm so happy, i've been studying for this test for a long time and i'm starting to get back my brain! thank god
I was doing so good until I got to this question... Time for a quick break.
I bombed this one pretty epically.
