FMOR Manhattan

For Flawed Method of Reasoning section, Manhattan LR only talks about "mismatch between premises and conclusion" and "causation" whereas 7sage and Powerscore talk about many different types of recurring flaws.

I was just wandering why Manhattan chose to do so. Anybody has an idea?

valid inferences. Help greatly appreciated!

I don't think we can draw any valid inferences from the following two statements, but Manhattan LR says we can (pg.412)

1. Some cars are sedans, and some cars are red.

2. Most children play sports, and some children play instruments.

But no, we can't draw any valid inferences from them right??

@ A. Wright do we need to get our own prep tesys for the problem sets in the core curriculum also? or is it the case only for the PT x?

The indicator "even if"

Hi, I know that there are many words that indicate what groups (universal quantifiers) you are in. Among them, where does the word "even if" belong to? Thanks.

@. Had a question. When you said "referential phrases," are you talking about words like "but" or words like "that, those"?

@ Hopeful @ Thanks! I did look at his explanation. See, L and M could've seen the same film. I understand that G, L, and M cannot all see the same film, but L and M can. Doesn't that fact alone prove "E" to be wrong?

pt 27 Game 3 Q 17 Help!!

Hi, I was looking at PT27 and found out that question 17 in Game 3 seemed quite odd. The answer is "E" here but I did not understand why it is so. The question asks " which of the following must be true" and "E" i think is only "partially" correct... Although it is true that G and L gets to see different films, L and M COULD see the same film. Thus, it's wrong to say that G, L, and M do not all see the same film.

Any thoughts here??? Help me!

@ Thanks! How about this one? "The students at this school take math. Mike is a student at this school, so he takkes math."

Could you explain how that is different from this? Thank you!

why flaw?

"The editorial board of this law journal has written on many legal issues. Tom is on the editorial board, so he has written on many legal issues."

It sounds like a valid reasoning... Why is it flawed?

Thanks in advance!

@. Thanks, but I was asking for denying the conditional statements (group 1~4). Should I just place "It's not the case that" in front of the conditional statements to deny them?

Negating/denying Universal quantifiers

Hey,

I know that there were lessons on denying existential quantifiers, but I couldn't find one for the universal quantifiers...

Can you please tell me how to deny statements with existential quantifiers?

Thanks

Translation confusions

For the following statement "I only work on Tuesday," i translated it as Tuesday -> Work.. but I guess it's Work -> Tuesday.

Not sure why. "Only" is group 2 and introduces necessary condition (in this case, it's work). Did I get something wrong?

Thanks!

confused...

These are little things I need to know, but confused a bit here...

Help me out!

- So, once I've set up the LSAC account now (Summer 2015), paid for the CAS, and have sent my transcript, LORs, then my LSAC account information, CAS record as well as my transcript and LORs remain for five years? So that when the time comes (Fall 2016, the year I'm planning to apply) I can just go ahead and click "apply" button?

- And as for the question of when I should take the LSAT, I can go ahead and prepare all the necessary things (paying for the CAS, sending in transcript, LORs) BEFORE I register and take the LSAT?

- Are there other things that I absolutely gotta know?

Again, I really appreciate your help.

Rule translation.

How do you translate this rule...?

K is evaluated either at some time after M or at some time before T, but not both.

Thanks for the help!

@ Thank you thank you~ I think I almost get it except... what would then "always apart, never together' rule look like? I know that 'if and/but only if' is one indicator that indicates this biconditional, but are there any other? or is this 'if and/but only if' pretty much the only one?

@ Thanks it helped a lot!

Thanks, if I add the word 'always' to that rule (M and N cannot always be selected together), would that turn this not both rule into a biconditional (always apart, never together)?

game simple question!

Hi, I'm a bit confused with the rule "M and N cannot be selected together."

Is this a biconditional with never together always apart? so, M (--) ~N

Or do I use 'cannot' and think of it as group 4? so, M --> ~N

Which one would be correct?

Thanks for the help.

flaws

Hi, I'm confused with these statements. They refer to some kind of flaws, but can't seem to pinpoint exactly what they are.

Does anyone know what they're called?

1. The argument assumes without warrant that a condition under which a phenomenon is said to occur is the only condition under which that phenomenon occurs (in other words, the argument assumes that one way is the only way)

2. It sets up a dichotomy between alternatives that are not known to be exclusive. (in other words, the argument assumes a limited number of possibilities when there could be more)

New to LSAC. please help!!

Hi, I'm kind of lost...

what do i do if I cannot visit the registrar at my undergrad to give them LSAC's "transcript request fom" with my signature on it??

I know its that simple but i'm still confused...

for example, the registrar at my undergrad allows student to request transcript either through online or through their own transcript request form that needs to be completed and returned via fax, scan and e-mail.

And yes, I can do that. BUT what do I do with the LSAC's "transcript request fom" with my signature on it...?

please help me.

And another quick question. Which one has to be done first? paying for the CAS or sending transcripts to LSAC. Or it doesn't matter?

Thank you so much in advance..!

Can you guys explain PT 9 section 1 question 19?

it reads Editorial: It is clear that if this country's universities were living up to ~~~

I don't get why there is a conclusion indicator (it is clear) in the stimulus.For MBT, we only need premises to derive the must be true conclusion. Is it there just to confuse you?

Thanks
