Looking for a study partner or partners in the East Bay (Or Bay Area in general)! Just finished the CC and looking to take LSAT in June or August and want to find some people to work with and share strategies and ideas.
@KaviPious-Milnor Okay I kind of understand it more. They are making that assumption, AND the explanation of the "Only if" phrase kind of helped clear it up. Hoping at all makes more sense as I keep going.
After reading the explanation, I am a little confused and will go and watch the video. My first thought confusing me though, is that what if coffee is a highly elastic good? What if the coffee shop increases the price for the coffee at the same rate as the increase in price of beans, keeping the margin the exact same. If coffee is a highly elastic good, that means that with changes in price, demand and consumption doesn't change much. So what if that margin stays the same and people don't actually start buying less coffee? That would mean that profit would stay around the same, or at least it COULD. I know we're supposed to take the statement of "or its coffee sales will decrease" as true, but why do we assume that? It may not be the case and seems to open it up to more incorrect assumptions. I mean imagine your favorite coffee shop increased it's coffee prices by 75 cents to make up for higher priced beans, would you really buy less? Maybe, but maybe not.
How much does it matter if I include "because" and "for" in my premise selections? For example, in some of the skill builders right before this, when the answer was revealed, they did not highlight the word "because" as part of the premise, but rather left it completely unhighlighted. In this skill builder, when the answer is revealed, they are including "because" and "for" in what they are saying the premise is. Is there a reason for that, or does it kind of not matter if you include those words.
@Reiii23 I think that the interpretation of "some" is technically correct, I just think for this question "most not" is the best way to interpret it. I also put what you had. Like in the lesson on Few it said it could be either, but the "most not" was the "key inference"
