@Walliums Thank you for the insight. I do agree with you that maybe I may be looking at this too strictly... I'll try to keep this one in the back of my head, and come back to this question after a few more PTs. Hope my view becomes fresh by then! T…
@Walliums Thank you for your insight! To be frank, I cannot see how we can interpret the stimulus and answer choice like that. Like you mentioned before, we should look at this question as a most strongly supported question. If a MSS question had a …
@Walliums Thanks for your reply! Actually my PT says its question 10. The answer choices for this question for me were very detailed oriented, so during timed PT I had to skim through and reached answer choice E. I do see why answer choice B is not …
@LSATcantwin ah! so if I'm understanding correctly, in the bead game there is an "if" statement within an "if" statement, which allows the second "if" statement to not happen. Thank you for your explanation!
@LSATcantwin Thanks for your reply! I'm sorry I wasn't clear in my question. In Question 13 in the bead game, PY are indeed next to each other, yet the correct answer allows P to be in the first spot and Y in the second, yet no R before the pair. I…
@Mellow_Z Thanks for the reply! I also agree that it is probably due to the difference in the content of the necessary condition. I actually don't quite use formal logic on RC, and it was just a question that popped in my mind that there may be ther…
@hon132 Saying that it is extra information that is not important just because "it is only there to name the source used," in my opinion, is not a valid approach for these flawed method of reasoning questions, as the LSAT often questions test taker…
@hon132 Thank you for your input! I've been trying to understand more with the addition of the explanation you have provided to me, but it would be great if you can give me some more feedback!
To your first comment, I don't quite understand why be…
@hon132 Right. It is the author, and not the historians, that is linking the evidence of the historians to the conclusion, which is why I have an issue with B. The author is linking two premises (1. what most people believe now, and 2. the histori…
@"Heart Shaped Box" Hello! Thanks for your comment. Before you explained this to me, that subtle difference of a "true" In-Out Game versus an In-Out Game for "convenience" hadn't really popped into my mind! Thank you for pointing that out for me S…
@JustDoIt Thank you for your reply! I can truly understand your explanation on the second point, and I'll be sure to heed this when I see similar questions. But, I cannot quite understand how the premise and conclusion for this question is logically…
@JustDoIt So, to my disbelief, another circular reasoning question hit me in the face again...! I'd greatly appreciate it if you could have a look at this! Here is the link! https://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/10517/pt24-s2-q8-sociologist-the…
@JustDoIt So answering more questions of circular reasoning (that was actually one of my first, so I wasn't sure what to expect), it looks like what you have stated is right on the mark! Wow.. just like the last question you have helped me with, it …
@JustDoIt Thanks for your reply, again . If I am understanding your explanation correctly, the argument structure is one of premise - subconclusion - main conclusion structure. So the structure would look like:
*Minor Premise : Succeed -> Have …
@Sami Thanks for your reply! I actually had that line of thought, about how the argument was structured, specifically in regards to the ordering of sentences (how the conclusion was stated first). However, I felt that this kind of thinking would not…
@BinghamtonDave Thanks for your comment! This helps to clarify a lot of my questions for this passage! Especially, I was unaware of the concept of "empaneling," that it was used at the beginning of a trial.
I still have two questions though, and an…
