@LiviaLSAT Yes I agree. The word "only" should indicate a necessary condition. One is a lawyer only if one has passed the bar exam. A biconditional means necessary and sufficient: One is a lawyer if and only if one has passed the bar exam. If you are a lawyer, you have passed the bar exam, and if you have passed the bar exam then you are a lawyer. But a biconditional doesn't work for that because passing the bar exam doesn't automatically mean you practice law.
this question was easy for me based on poe. to me, the given excerpt clearly reads as the conclusion. not a premise, or hypothesis, but definitely some sort of claim, either B or E. Following this I reaffirm it as a conclusion and not a premise, therefore E
I got it correct, but only after using POE. I wasn't confident in choosing E because it didn't fit perfectly with the answer I had in mind. Definitely need more practice!

Why is the video almost 20 minutes :(((((((
I picked E but was thrown off by the 'One kind' of causal relationship. What is the one kind ?
yayayay!!!!!
i am still confused why you know that its a bi-conditional relationship, maybe need to find that lesson to review.... but anyone else lost here?
@LiviaLSAT like political structures don't bring about ecological or climate factors so why would the arrows go both ways

i'm up
IT's A CONCLUSION THEREFORE A CLAIM
Ngl this one really got me..
not gonna lie this fried my brain
Note to self, do not second guess
the way the only reason i picked E is bc it was the only answer choice to mention the philosopher 😭
I don't think I need any "more practice being confused" lol
How do we know the claim in the square box is biconditional? I thought only indicated group 2 necessary
got this right after blind review but still feeling defeated.
"Nope, didn’t make sense." - God, did that make me feel validated.

I don't remember seeing anything about "bi conditionals"=very confused

#feedback let me filter by likes so that I can laugh and then see the best student explanation!
Me: "Phew that was a tough one"
JY: "Alright tough question here"
Me: :D
ngl but the more question types i keep trying to learn, the less bandwidth i have for this shit.
#help
when did we learn to disprove bi-conditional?
sooo why are we mapping the logical structure if we know its a conclusion and thats what the question is asking about?
Square, circle, triangle... J.Y. is the new Front Man.
@BenPocheron lol
