As is well know, and is often characterized humorously, adults who spend considerable hours working with small children may then speak to other adults in the same language structure and vocabulary as they used speaking with children. Therefore, co-workers who usually communicate with each other with different language structure and vocabulary will sometimes adopt the some of the other person's language structure and vocabulary.

Which of the following statement is most parallel to the above premise's INFORMAL logic:

a) When speaking to other adults, a person studying for the LSAT communicates to others in the same language structure and vocabulary as LSAT stimuli.

b) Humans who effectively communicate with each other sometimes adopt the other person's language structure and vocabulary.

c) I like turtles.

d) When being spoken to by other adults, a person studying for the LSAT is communicated to in the same language structure and vocabulary as LSAT stimuli.

e) Therefore, people who speak to other adults in the same language structure and vocabulary as they used speaking with children should receive extra mental breaks.


_________________________________
Blind Review summary

a) correct answer, even though the LSAT does not test for parallel premises informal logic parallel.
b)Nope, but could be a great answer if the stimuli was for a sufficient assumption.
c)Off topic (in case you don't get the reference )
d) a trap response by reversing answer choice (a)
e) Nope, but could be a conclusion to an inference question.
