I believe using the rules of the game will help eliminate wrong answers. Leaving only the correct answer. This is true in Questions 3, and 4.
Impossible achievement. You did it!
I agree with Mcbeck above. I think it is an argument and the conclusion is implied in first statement, but the main conclusion is : "Unless a person's...". So it is an argument.
I agree with all the comments above, that this is a tuition problem. We could also assume that the reason non-Markland students decreased is because the tuition increased. So, E must be true.
Looking at Question 15: The Scorpio Miser with its special high-efficiency engine costs more to buy than the standard Scorpio sports car. At current fuel prices, a buyer choosing the Miser would have to drive it 60,000 miles to make up the difference in purchase price through savings on fuel. (Therefore), It follows that, if fuel prices fell, it would take fewer miles to reach the break-even point.
Since this is a flaw question this conclusion is flawed. For example, if fuel prices were $.10 @ gallon times 60,000 = 6,000. But if fuel prices fell to say, $.05 @ gallon times 60,000 is 3000. So this is the flaw, the reverse is true, fuel prices need to go up to make this true.
This is reflected in answer choice (C). Here the Roadmaker savings accrue when wages are higher. Just like in the stimulus. But it says the Roadmaker is advantageous when prices are low.
Great Daniel!
I think this is a good question. I eliminated most but I listened to JY's explanation.
I agree with the explanation above. t seems that none of the other answers could possibly strengthen.
Interesting argument above, I was down to answer choice (B) and ( D). The gap is what is whether top management practices what they preach. This is reflected in answer choice (D), more so that in answer choice (B); which goes out on a limb.
I think this was great question to ask for help about. I too was strongly considering B and D. But since the conclusion was a comparative answer A does compare and judges between them. thanks again!
I totally agree with the analysis above. I, also, believes the correct answer is A.
I think A is correct because in the comparison of "...correctly prescribed drugs..." who says the surgical procedure is "correct". In other words the "...surgical procedure varies with the skills of the surgeon who uses it".
I'll try this:
The stimulus says: re-phrased: Sa implies Ib some TF, therefore, Sa some Tf. The correct answer is most similar this.
A: Gp some A implies I. Not the same flaw.
B:Gp implies A implies I, therefore Gp some I. I think this is a must be true. no flaw.
C: Gp implies A some I, therefore Gp some I. Same flaw as the original.
D: no flaw.
E: no flaw.
Thanks.
I loved this podcast. I think I have met you because I think I was at the meeting that you described with JY Ping. Anyway I am in New York City we are near neighbors but you are much more advanced than I am. You mentioned that taking the LSAT is an enjoyable experience I agree totally. Thanks again.
The problem with 'D' is that we don't know if it's true. So it's not a most strongly supported from the stimulus. Hope this helps.
I agree with both interpretations above. I arrived at D through the process of elimination. Because "This authority cannot simply be claimed.."( The conclusion), to me this assumes D: "Top orchestras can appreciate the merits of an interpretation even before they have brought it (interpretation) even before they have brought it to full realization". The premise is that "...the conductor must earn it..." Thanks!
I eliminated answer choices A, B, and C. D is a trap answer.
Again, the above answered the wrong question. "Which one of the following is a principle that, if accepted, could enable the conclusion to be properly drawn?"
I think you asked the right question. "Current legislation that requires designated sections for smokers and nonsmokers on the premises of privately owned businesses is an intrusion into the private sector that cannot be justified. (the first conclusion, that I believe becomes a major premise) The fact that studies indicate that nonsmokers might be harmed by inhaling the smoke from others' cigarettes is not the main issue. (another premise) Rather, the main issue concerns the government's violation of the right of private businesses to determine their own policies and rules."(this is I think is the main conclusion)
This is answered in answer choice (C) "The right of businesses to self-determination overrides whatever right or duty the government may have to protect the individual". Thanks.
I agree with the above comments. But the issue is to answer what is required: "As a rebuttal of Giselle's argument, Antoine's response is ineffective because".
So, I thought our approach is to use Giselle's argument as a base to see if Antoine's picked up on the issues stated in Giselle's argument.
This stated in answer choice (A) "he ignores the fact that Giselle does not base her argument for raising the gasoline sales tax on the government's need for increased revenues".
Antoine talks about the need to increase revenues. Thanks.
On this question, #19, I eliminated B, C, and D, right away. Answer A: showing the tge objections raised by Dr Schilling have no bearing on the question of which of the two systems under consideration is the superior> Dr Schilling did not discuss "superior". So, that eliminated A. Answer choice says: showing that the force of
Dr Schilling's criticism depends on construing the key notion of access in a particular limited way." This true.
I think the loophole, or gap, is comparing all and some. "Although all contemporary advertising tries to persuade, only a small portion of contemporary advertising can be considered morally reprehensible. It nevertheless follows that some attempts at persuasion can be regarded as morally reprehensible." This is paralleled in answer choice C: "A good manager always makes important decisions on the basis of adequate data, although of course some managers fail to do this. It follows that some managers are not good managers."
Thanks!
Thanks
