That's an interesting question. I think the point of this question - which you totally understood - was negating the comparison. "Not as serious" into "just as serious or more serious."

While technically "some" could mean "all" I think this would be one of those context situations where we have to understand drug related crime as a whole as opposed to discussing at least one form of drug-related crime, like possession. Because what we are negating is not the quantity of a thing but the quality or a characteristic (seriousness) of a thing. We are denying this person's claim of the relationship that exists between drug-related crime and what the mayor claims. To suggest that, "some drug related crime is as serious, or more serious, of a problem for the city as the mayor claims it is" leaves open the possibility that there could be at least one form of drug related crime that is not a serious of a problem for the city as the mayor claims and leaving that possibility open would mean that we are not fully negating this statement.

Hope that helps!

Hey! That helps so much, thanks a lot! :)

Negation question

Hey There is this question in one of the quizzes and we are supposed to negate it:

Drug-related crime is not as serious a problem for the city as the mayor claims it is.

I read it as “all” drug related crime is not as serious a problem for the city as the mayor claims it is.

So wouldn’t this be the negation: Some drug related crime is as serious as the mayor claims it is or more?

This is the answer that was written for the quiz:

It’s not the case that drug-related crime is not as serious of a problem for the city as the mayor claims it is.

Drug-related crime is just as serious of a problem for the city as the mayor claims it is, or it is more serious. (Which is the same thing as saying – some drug related crime is as serious of a problem for the city as the mayor claims it is)

Anyone?

Can someone help me please

In the starter package - JY makes a lot of references to like words like But and Because introducing premises. Does anyone know which module/video talks about these key words? Is there a cheat sheet?

That's true. But how would they prove that the person is telling the truth? Because I saw a comment written in all caps and then a moderator replied back saying to not write in caps as it is against the policy. But honestly the comment that commenter made was just a normal reply to someone, it was just written all in caps. So it is likely that he wasn't yelling and it seems that the policy doesn't allow all caps because of it implying yelling. I just felt bad for the commenter lol, totally redundant to even discuss lol! :smile:

I would take care of your health. The LSAT changed to unlimited tries from its previous restricted amount.

On a website called lawstudents.ca I read a post about a guy that wrote the LSAT 6 times and still got into law school. School and the test will always be there but your health is something that is far more important. Stay happy and strong, study longer and take it when you are at your best.

Drawing Valid Conclusion Question

Hey!

Can someone help me out with this (Question 1: Quiz on Drawing Valid Conclusions with Intersection Statements 3 w/Answers)

W → /R

W −m→ T

Y → /T

/W → Q

How come there is no relationship between /Q & /Y and between T & /Q? Whats the reasoning? I think it has something to do with the most statement but I would appreciate if someone took the time to explain it.

(Question 2: Quiz on Drawing Valid Conclusions with Intersection Statements 3 w/Answers)

/B → /D

F ←s→ D

/O → /F

I → F

I thought there would be a SOME relationship between D and I - I don't understand why there isn't.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my post.
