You are confusing this for a necessary assumption question (or something that "must be true"). You are correct that it "must be true" that the wild potato contains more solenine in its skin. But the question is asking us for a sufficient assumption (if "x" is true, then the conclusion is guaranteed). With this in mind, answer choice A fails to guarantee the conclusion. Yes, the wild skin could contain more solanine, but what if the center of the potato has a million solanine and is still super poisonous? Now take a look at answer choice C through the sufficient assumption framework: if "there is no more solanine in a peeled wild potato than in an unpeeled domesticated potato of the same size" then the conclusion (that a peeled wild potato is equally as safe as an unpeeled domesticated potato) is guaranteed.

For this test, it helps to read "many" = "some". And honestly, I have never seen the test make a trap answer that distinguishes "many" vs. "some". The words are just too ambiguous and subjective. Colloquially it feels wrong but this is a new type of language. LSAT English. It's just the name of the game.

To borrow from material found elsewhere: "'Many' is defined as a large number. But, what does a large number actually mean? In the case of a nine-person party, many might mean five, six, seven, or eight. However, in the case of 20,000 concertgoers, many would probably mean over 7,000 or 8,000–the exact number is indistinct. So again, the meaning of this term is somewhat dependent on overall group size. The point to take away from this discussion is that the way words are used on the LSAT is not necessarily the same as the way you might typically use those words. And, when terms representing quantity are used, this is even more likely to be the case. Part of the value of studying the LSAT prior to taking the test is that you can familiarize yourself with the way the test makers use language, so you don’t have to think about these issues during the test. That kind of familiarity can make you a faster and more confident test taker."

#help should we be using a pen and paper to diagram LR questions like these? it seems like you would need a sketch to get the right answer here... is pen/paper allowed on the online test? is sketching in LR counter-productive for speed?

Hello, I noticed that my beta 2 RC is only showing one section: "Science Passages" while the original version has much more than that... it also looks like much of fundamentals are different even though these comments make it seem like only LR was changed... just wondering what's up
