PT44.S4.Q7 - Since empathy is essential for

Crack LSAT175

I am stumped by the question PT44-S4-Q7, and the following is the question:

Admin note: edited; violation of rule 4. "Do not post LSAT questions, any copyrighted content, or links to content that infringe on copyright."
https://7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-44-section-4-question-07/

the model is: MC→E
(C→MC）

---

therefore, C→E

I am wondering why 'ignore their own welfare to help others' is not included in the model when explain the question?
Besides, if it is in the model, where can I put it? Can I understand 'sometimes' as 'some' then use double arrow like:

IG ←sometimes→ MC→E
therefore, C→IG

The clause "sometimes requires them to...." is modifying "moral codes." The stimulus isn't talking about moral codes in general. It's talking about a subset of moral codes.

If you put it like this:

IG ←sometimes→ MC→E

What would this mean?

This would mean that moral codes in general sometimes require people to ignore their well being. But that's not what the stimulus is saying. The stimulus is not talking about moral codes in general.

That is why you don't represent "ignore their own welfare to help others" separately. It has to be included in the "MC."

P: Moral Codes [that sometimes require them to....] → Empathy
———————
C: Civil Society → Empathy

Bridging
Civil Society → Moral Codes [that sometimes require them to....]
