#feedback: this unit could use way more lessons and maybe even a short review of some of the conditional logic/grammar units because I feel like I am drowning
if u are having trouble with this question type i highly recommend reading the PowerScore Logical Reasoning Bible. it explains a mechanistic approach for solving these questions that works without fail when applied correctly. basically u just figure out what concept is either applied in the premise but not conclusion or vice versa, and the right answer MUST include that concept. e.g. in this question, money is applied in the premise but not the conclusion. so the right answer must somehow link money into the conclusion. what is applied in the conclusion but not the premise? happiness. so the right answer must bridge money and happiness. health is applied in both the premise and conclusion, so it won't be in the right answer.
@JuliaWise But there is also an attempted (but failed) bridge between money and happiness in B. How could that be explained using this process, I wonder?
what really helped me was thinking of these questions as a bridge. Which correct answer choice will help show the connection from the premise to the conclusion. Whats missing from the premise that needs to be there for the conclusion to be supported

AGREED
@daviesfionajane !!!
i'm gonna go take a walk
felt this
Yeah so today was not the day to humble me severely over and over again
These have taken all the confidence I had and threw it violently into the interstate.
just blow up this question type actually
Studying for the LSAT makes me sacrifice my happiness.
Therefore, I should not study for the LSAT.
@mhpathub Assumption: You should not do anything, like, ever that makes you sacrifice your happiness.

@ginelson Just tried this and it is a life saver. Thank you!
@ginelson wow i just tried this with the previous alien question and it works there too!! Thank you!!
@TekenaAbere can you pleaseee explain how you used this on the previous alien question? i'm so confused by it.
@ginelson This is super duper helpful, Thank you! I think you may have accidentally switched the Premise & Conclusion because:
One should never sacrifice one's health in order to acquire money (C), for without health, happiness is not obtainable. (P)
So Money is in the C but not P
Happiness is in P but not C
Health is in both P & C
So bridge Money to Happiness & you get answer choice A.
This is super helpful! I will be using this. Thank you for sharing!
@paligrrl Your explanation is incredibly clear and helpful. Wow. Thank you!
@JuliaWise But there is also an attempted (but failed) bridge between money and happiness in B. How could that be explained using this process, I wonder?
