I missed the last few questions, so I chose the right answer the first time on this and changed it in the blind review because I was doubting myself! I need to build up my confidence.

Translating this into lawgic was hard for me under timed conditions, so I actually ended up drawing overlapping circles to represent each Most and Some sub-group and their relationships to eachother. This helped me get to the answer very quickly! But I also see now how you are supposed to sift through irrelevant information and only draw an inference from the statements: P-ISM --m--> NR and P-ISM --m--> Making Profit, which you can infer NR (some arrow) Making Profit.

I wrongly translated the last sentence into Lawgic because the "unless" statement tripped me up.

I incorrectly thought it the last section of the chain with the "unless" statement would translate to "Profits Increase -> /traffic congestion down." But the correct translation should be "(profits increase) -> traffic congestion down" (in other words, the rule for "unless" statements is "/[the way things always are] --> [Exception]" so " /(/profits increase) -> traffic congestion down").

Hopefully this means I'll never mix up how to translate Unless statements into Lawgic ever again!!

In a way, this reminds me of Split method recommended by 7sage for RC strategy! (I did RC before LR oops)

I have been doing well on these practice questions by identifying the conclusion (in my own words) after reading the stimulus before EVER reading the answer choices. So much so that I was 11 seconds faster than the target time (for this one). When I do read the answer choices, I know exactly what I'm looking for, I pick it, and I don't get tricked by the LSAT writer, with all their tricky answer choice language. Many people have said this, but I've really taken it to heart lately: "the answer choices are there to trick you, not help you." If you can, you should have a plan and an answer prediction in mind before you even read the answer choices!

I'm using my browser to read the text out loud since there isn't a video explanation. There's no visuals obviously (drawings, etc.) like the videos often have, but I notice it's helping me get through the material without having to concentrate on starting at all the text on my computer screen. Might not work for everyone (I'm a visual learner so I still like videos best) but just wanted to put the idea out there!
