"That we should learn the lessons of history figures in the argument in which of the following ways?"

Translated to:

The concept "That we should learn the lessons of history" fits in the argument in which of the following ways?

I hope this helps somebody as much as it did for me. Parsing the question stem took me a bit because of its archaic language.

I've got a question when it comes to chaining conditional logic. The first sentence was structured by the instructor like:

sentient beings -> /at least as intelligent as humans -> /determine

but couldn't we also chain the conditional statement where we would negate the first portion of the necessary condition by cancelling out the "not" in the first clause of "determining this anytime in the near future"? Like this:

sentient beings -> determine -> at least as intelligent as humans

Essentially stating If there are sentient beings on planets outside our solar system, we will be able to determine this anytime in the near future only when they are at least as intelligent as humans.

I would just like clarification on how to structure the necessary condition of the first sentence if it contains a sufficient condition within, indicated by the "unless" conditional indicator.

@jaydenca Same here! We got this, I believe.

Example: Few people will score a 180 on the LSAT

Translation:

people <-s-> 180 : some people are going to score a 180 on the LSAT

and/but

people -m-> /180 : most people are not going to score a 180 on the LSAT

Superset: Soccer Player

Subset: World Cup

Necessary Condition: It is necessary to be a soccer player to play in the World Cup.

Sufficient condition:

• Playing in the World Cup is sufficient grounds to being a soccer player

• If you are not a soccer player, then you are not playing in the world cup

All LSAT test takers are studying hard. Megatron is an LSAT test taker. Megatron is studying hard (Major premise). All things studying hard are awesome. Megatron is awesome.

Tiger: Not all spiders are dangerous. After all, the daddy long leg cannot physically hurt a human.

Mickey: Lawyers have opportunities to get into Big Law. Lawyers who study for more than 10 hours a day can get into Big Law. All other lawyers need recommendation from their professors. Nathan is in Big Law. He did not need recommendation from his professors. Therefore, Nathan studied for more than 10 hours a day.

Trash Bin: The homework I was going to do is all ripped and chewed up. The torn papers are scattered around the floor. The dog upstairs is staring at me. The dog has his tail down and head lowered as if he did something wrong. I believe that the dog ate my homework.
