#feedback I figured this one out after staring at it for some time. There are two ways to read "The only oral myths that have survived are the ones that were eventually written down." 1) In this example, "only" works as a classic necessary condition indicator. Here, only modifies "oral myths," and "ones" refers to "oral myths". Thus, "the ones that were eventually written down" is necessary since it was the phrase modified by "only" and the diagram is: survive → written. 2) It's imperative to make a distinction between "the only," "only," and "only if." The last two directly precede a necessary condition, as we learned, whereas "the only" directly precedes a sufficient condition. Technically, they are all necessary condition indicators because in the case of "the only," the actual referent is elsewhere in the sentence as outlined in the first strategy. But it's sometimes easier to think of "the only" as a sufficient indicator for the reasons mentioned above. A number of LSAT resources have students remember "the only" as a sufficient conditional indicator, similar to If.
