Thanks, sharon. I think I probably don't have 45 min for LG everyday since I need to concencrateing on hoing my LR/RC approaches.
I thnik I will probably find some bits of free time during my work to do one game every two days at least.
Thanks, mnkim. It makes a lot of sense! I actually did ask myself "can an apartment have more than one balconies?" when reading the sentence. "I am not a real estate agent so I am going with what is literal" I thought to myself. I hope that LSAC won…
Thank you, Jordan Johnson and LivinLaVidaLSAT.
"Bi-conditional" mean a condition is both sufficient and necessary for another condition, which is precisely what your diagram "A B" presents.
I am really not sure how whatever plays in me putting …
Thanks for the response, mnkim. My issue is the conclusion is about any apartment with "a balcony". But this can't trigger the sufficient condition in the second premise, which states "only three-bedroom apartments have balconies. "
Hi,
I have a similar trouble with (E): saying something is less important implies saying that thing less necessary?
I am taking "necessary" in formal logic terms and thus making a mental diagram: the neighborhood --> the center. Then, looking …

A quick follow-up question: a person, X, claims drinking tea is a rational choice. Does such claim also contain somewhat "semi-prescriptive" nature in it?
Drinking tea is a irrational choice.
(So, inferalby, we should not drin…
Thank you so much, yunonsie! You helped me to understand that my reading the meaning "characterize" is why I am confused. I read the term to mean "what's been described"; yet, from Ellision's stance, Ellision's purpose is to make an "inference" abou…
kingfish743-1, I agree with your exemplification. Your mentioning the difference between "fails to distinguish" and "confuse" is precise on point.
In addition, as I try to think deeper about "confuse A and B", I wonder does this phrase mean the arg…
Thank you for another wonderful explanation, Kevin and canihazJD!
"[...] not every statement is purely descriptive or purely prescriptive and that we might need to be careful with certain kinds of claims. Maybe they do have a strict logical meaning…
Thank you, Kevin and miamisquidward, for your helpful explanations!
So lucid and educational, Kevin's explanation is almost like a tutorial for negation.
Thank you all so much! So such a principle would be like: teachers should encourage their students to keep a healthy, balanced diet and eat as many snacks and food as they want.
Thank you, CSieck3507, FindingSage, and canihazJD! I've tried a tactic similar to the "A but B because" method, which did not work for me well though. It helped me POE swiftly but left me struggling between two contenders.
I will incorporate those …
I found surprising only a few discussions in this forum about counterfactual causation theory. In addition to the links JY mentioned, a feed on Wikipedia related to this topic was also helpful to me.

Thanks for the help, ObjectionQuarantined and sylviatantran !
Following your comments, ObjectionQuarantined, so you would choose to negate "to ignore", correct?
Sylvia, how would you understand this sentence: "Head injury is NOT too trivial to ig…
Thanks Logician. i am still a bit confused since the sentence has two universal indicators. So I was unable to decide which one should be the sufficient condition. Could you explain your diagraming rationale a little further?
Also, how would you di…
Congrats! Thank you for this post. It truly reaffirms my belief that I also felt learning tons of great stuff by doing my used prep tests. Hope I would be able to break my 160s plateau!
