I completely understand why A was the right choice, I was just asking if other people agreed there was a logical inconsistency.

PT11.S2.Q24 #Help

I understand why AC (A) is the correct answer because it is the best suited. However, is it really an assumption the argument depends on because if you utilise JY's negation method, you can get this:

Say, there is a political debt she owes to somebody longer than Lee & it can be as suitably repaid by appointing them to the Head of the Arts Commission, couldn't it be the case at the exact same time another job became vacant that was better suited to this unnamed individual (the individual Mayor Drabble had a longer standing political debt to). Therefore, allowing Lee to be appointed to the Head of the Arts Commission and fulfilling her longer standing political debt as soon as possible.

I am not sure if the slight flaw in the logic is due to it being an older LSAT so not as logically rigorous or I am missing something?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This question is also a bit tricky because it is saying, they control more disposable income than the rest of the population combined, which mathematically means more than 50%. However, the answer choice says 50% or more it should really read "more than 50%" because if they control only 50% then they are equal with the rest of the population because the rest of the population will control the other 50%.

I don't think this is a correlation error but actually a Red Herring (from the 21 common reasoning errors).

Q20 is crazy because you have to assume that just because they have access to the TV shows then they will definitely air it. Maybe, its an awful show or maybe doesn't fit into their programming etc
