I think the ambiguity introduced by the "almost" remains though. For me at least, "almost" implies "not quite always," which would mean that the last sentence is saying "it is always not quite always impossible that LMRD exist."
And then answer A), or "Drivers who XYZ should be J" definitely reads as "All drivers who XYZ should be J."
ckscaggs, you say that LMRD do not exit, but it would seem that they "almost" does not exist, i.e. some LMRD exist. If even one LMRD exists, then there is one Driver who XYZ who should not be sent to jail, rendering A) false.
Is this the kind of thing where I should just tell myself "this is why this is a MSS question and not a Must be True question" and move on? I can't help but feel that even though B) through E) are definitely not supported, A) is not supported either. It's so often the case in the LSAT that words like "almost" make all the difference that I don't get how to just breeze past it here.
JY, could you offer a little more clarification? Thanks!
Hi all - I'm taking the LSAT for the first time and I'd love to find a study buddy to stay motivated and on schedule. Let me know if you're interested!
