Hi! I'm taking the LSAT tomorrow and would love a bit of last minute help on this one to boost my confidence.
https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-34-section-4-game-4/
In the explanation, JY explains that answer B is correct using a thought process I cannot seem to grasp despite the number of times I watch the video. if J is in, then P is in - no problem. but then to say that when J is in, O and N can also be in confuses me...I understand that looking left of J - taking the contrapositive - O and N are in. but in doing so, don't you have to leave J out since it requires the contrapositive of J to get O and N in? I must be missing something super basic here. please help :) Thanks!

Hi!
In leaving J in, you're satisfying the necessary condition (/O -> J, therefore J is the necessary condition and /O is the sufficient. Once you satisfy the necessary, the rule falls away). So J could be in and then leaving O in (contraposing back), N has to be in with it.
/N -> /O; failing /O, taking the contrapositive O -> N.
I hope that helps. There's a relevant lesson on this but I can't seem to remember which one :( maybe someone can chime in and drop the link.
