Holy... only 17% get this right... with 180 warriors having only a 50% chance.
I wish there was a way to see all the similarly difficult questions in one bank.
Can this question not be deconstructed using conditionality only? That;s how I got to E. Surprised to see 7Sage didn't use it
My issue is equating "guarantee a steady flow of customers" with "only when it is necessary to do so in order to attract customers" in AC D.
Even though we know that Traintrack Inn is nearly guaranteed a steady flow of customers, how can we reasonably assume that it is not still necessary for Traintrack to attract even more customers (or failing the necessary condition)?
In other words, who are we to say what is and isn't necessary for Traintack, or what it wants?
This question has me eating a bag of complimentary Texas Roadhouse peanuts before my LSAT tomorrow...
And I DON'T EVEN LIKE PEANUTS!
Curse you, LSAT writers, and your subliminal temptations, which apparently don't only include trap answers.
The issue I have with B is how can we reasonably assume that cows and sheep are such "animals raised on grain" mentioned in the stimulus?
In the explanation of AC A, it says
"Contrapositive: an increase in visitors is necessary (as well as sufficient) to increase revenues."
Is the as well as sufficient part referring to the argument's use of the number of visitors increasing as sufficient to ensure an increase in tax revenue?
If not, I don't understand how AC A is using this as both necessary and sufficient.
HOW is this part of A not Circular Reasoning:
Greeting one's coworkers must be a polite thing to do, because people who are considered polite always greet their coworkers.
I take this as: G->P, and then P->G, which is what the question stimulus does.
What am I missing here?
@JohnCarey yeah, but it goes from a poll about belief in the Mayor being guilty of ethics violations to a poll about good performance; I struggle taking these as the same poll, since the first is a "yes or no" answer, and the other is a "bad, not good, good, great one". I think there's too many assumptions required to make this the same poll.
What say you, Kevin Lin?
@B_Freeze2631 I get all that, but I'm still stuck on how it is an unreasonable assumption that Pat IS a member of the club.
@sfbunting1731 sounds like I wrote this comment myself! I wonder if LSAC would ever consider reviewing this question and removing it from the scoring matrix because of this exact issue. I could not find a right answer because of it.
The overwhelming majority of the mass in the universe is composed of something else, no galaxies.
These spelling mistakes are becoming too common not to be confusing.
@julhatch I agree it's interesting, but I've never heard this claim from other companies. I wonder to what extent this is true or to what extent it appears in other questions.
@cclarez61 with an explanation like this, I wonder what you're up to now!
@davidbear0169 wish there was a way to save comments, cause this is a great explanation
But HOW do we know that the conditional rule applies to ALL vacuum tubes when not ALL vacuums meet the sufficient condition to trigger the rule?
And I don't see how the final sentence applies to SEVT when they are a unique set with their own quirks: I understand the while superset / subset thing, but I think that tool makes it a little confusing here.
@VincentLaGuardiaG. yup...
