Am I correct in saying that with conditional arguments, we are working with the subset --> superset, and then with contrapositive arguments, we are working with the superset --> subset?

Throughout all of these, I've consistently gotten the subject and verb correct, but I struggle with figuring out if there is an object or not. For example, for 15.3, I had the kernel of the sentence just be "Tourists can explore", and didn't add in the "cultural sites" as the object. I had similar mistakes with other questions where I wasn't sure if the object was included in the predicate (or in my opinion, could be excluded because the kernel of the sentence could be stripped down even more, like the questions for 14). Could someone help me understand when an object is in a predicate and when it is not? Thank you!
I could be completely missing something, but I was under the assumption (haha) that you aren't supposed to use any outside knowledge and take the question at face value. So for the Tiger example, are we supposed to use the "outside knowledge" (fact) that tigers are mammals? Does the part about mammals being aggressive count as acknowledging tigers being mammals? I understand for the Trash Bin argument that it's a made up scenario that we don't have the answers to, but aren't all of the questions on the LSAT "made up"? I guess what I'm trying to ask is what is the line between "outside knowledge" and then making assumptions that aren't there?
I'm feeling really good because I've gotten every "try it yourself" question right on the first try so far! My only concern is that for this question and the last question (about the politicians and insincerity) I got the answer right first try, but then changed my answer during the blind review. Does anyone have any tips for not second guessing? Thank you!
