Premise 1: New product lines need good managers to succeed. Premise 2: However, companies tend to assign good managers only to established product lines that are already successful, and most new ones fail because of this. Conclusion: Therefore, …

If A-most-B > C > D, then A-most-D is a perfectly valid conclusion to make, as is A-most-C. Whoever said/voted otherwise needs to review this lesson: https://7sage.com/lesson/most-before-all-formal-argument-5/

in Last Words for LG Comment by Dexterity June 8

The economist's "proposition" is essentially this: "Having incentive X is worse than not having incentive X, because having incentive X leads to a scenario where each individual tries to get more for themselves, and everyone gets screwed over as a …

in PT94.S02.Q20 - Why is the answer C and not D? Comment by Dexterity May 20

Yeah, I think A is incorrect for the exact reason you stated. The author isn't trying to refute the journalists' claim that they're doing what they're doing to improve society. If the author's objective was to refute that claim, they would have said…

in PT94.S4.Q09 - Journalists often claim that their investigation... Comment by Dexterity April 17

Oof, this one's brutal. So, the pro-nuclear crowd is asking the anti-nuclear crowd to "live up to their own ideals" and help come up with better ways to dispose of nuclear waste. The author claims this is a dishonest act. How? According to the aut…

in PT94.S4.Q26 - Can someone explain please? Comment by Dexterity March 29

Generally, we're supposed to take premises at face value, yes. We're not rejecting a premise here, though; we're just pointing out that said premise does nothing to support the author's conclusion. Why not? Because it's phrased in a way that assumes…

in PT82.S01.Q22 - This one really confused me Comment by Dexterity March 19

I can certainly see why you would say that! But once you break down the logic of D and E, the difference should become clear: (D) Museum will exceed budget if it renovates. R > E (E) Museum will not exceed budget if it does not renovate. /R &…

in PT94.S4.Q13 - I don't understand the difference between answer choices D and E Comment by Dexterity March 9

Yeah, I would try not to let parental pressure influence your study/testing schedule too much. Only you can really know if the time's right for you to take the LSAT. Take it once you feel that you're ready and no sooner.

in What do I do Comment by Dexterity January 18

That's exactly right. Here's a simpler example of this kind of relationship: "A is no larger than B." So, if A isn't larger than B, then that leaves two other possibilities: A is either the same size as B, or A is smaller than B.

Exactly.

in PT9.S2.Q23 - Rich and Poor Farmers Comment by Dexterity March 2023

I think you're misinterpreting B - it actually says that it'd be cheaper to give up consistency than flavor. The main issue with B, as you've probably already figured out, is that it contradicts the stimulus: From what the stimulus tells us, it woul…

^^^ Yup.

in To answer or not to answer, that is the question Comment by Dexterity October 2022

A is out of scope. There's nothing we can infer about old people in general from Rotelle's criticism of Sims. D, on the other hand, follows logically. If Rotelle thinks Sims is too old to effectively address the country's issues, then clearly someo…

in PT4.S1.Q7 - Rotelle : You are too old to address effectively.. Comment by Dexterity September 2022

@claremont, Ah. Now that I think about it, you're absolutely right. You're saying that (A) doesn't say that Jennifer didn't USE two weeks, but rather that she had at least two weeks that were UNUSED. I guess that'd be consistent with my illustratio…
