Did you read every answer choice on those questions? If so, do you remember why you got rid of the correct answers? There must be some failure of analysis if you eliminate the correct answer on a straightforward stimulus.

I don't want to be really nit-picky here, but does (B) lacking the word "now" still make it necessary? Meaning, our set in the stimulus is drugs "now being tested" and (B) is just about drugs being tested. Curious as to…
I think it has to do with the language "counts as … if at least". That statement is conveying a definition, and definitions can be seen as bi-conditionals. Being interpreted in a national tradition is defined as doing any one of 3 things: X, Y, Z.
Noted, that does seem like a reasonable way to attack the argument. However, I think one thing much discussion overlooks is that the correct answer is about how no contribution needed to be registered with the city council. That part often gets chop…
@btate87 said:
I can't see his explanation either, but the shift from "the" to "this" seems to weaken the sense of bi-conditionality. By not sticking with "the" it reads to me as though it is opening up the application of laws from outside Wes…
Why is this a poorly written question in JY's opinion? (I can't see the explanation.) Is there some dispute about "the law of Weston regarding contributions" not actually implying that there is no other law regarding contributions? As far as I know,…
173 is likely to be YLS median, so does a higher score help? Look at LSN -- How does admission rate at 173 w/ your GPA compare to the rate for 175+ with same GPA?

Let's look at it this way:

Yes, it could be true that something that's not cat can drink milk, (my dog) hence C and Milk or C some milk could be true. However, it's not…

No it doesn't, and that' the key issue here. It cannot be true that A --> B just based on A --> B. The only possibility we have from that statement would be A and B or A some B, if we need to conclude B.
Why i…

@thrillhouse
Good question.
A --> B
From this I don't think we could conclude A --> B, the "conditional arrow" is the key here. We can say based on A --> B, it could be true that something not a…
This is a really fascinating question. Let me try to state it in even more basic terms.
A -> B.
In this world, it is a could be true that /A --> B. And yet, the contrapositive of this is /B --> A...which contradicts the initial claim, bec…

Getting a 180 is not required to be a great lawyer is indeed a valid way of restating the sentence. It is still a conditional statement.
