Re: Q8

For this question, I used the strategy of plugging in each answer and if there was ambiguity in the diagram, I moved on to the next answer choice. Is this the best strategy for this type of question?

Thank you!

Formal Conditional Reasoning Question

I am looking at Statement 5 on page 315 of the LR Strategy Guide. I do not understand how the contrapositive is derived from the statement. Statement: S-->(-R+T) or (-T+R) Taking the contrapositive requires negating both sides and switching sides. So we would get the following: -(-R+T) and -(-T+R...

Re: Q7

I don't think I'm understanding this question...H and M are already in the forest. J only, S only, or both J and S can be in the forest. So this means that there are at least 3 birds in the forest at a time correct? I am saying this because J and S can't be out of the forest at the same time and if ...

Re: Q10 - Premiums for automobile accident insurance

The reason why I eliminated C was because I reasoned that if the red cars are banned, the reckless drivers will no longer drive, and as a result save lives. What's wrong with this reasoning? What makes you think that those reckless drivers must drive red cars? Can you see how you mistakenly assumed...

Re: Diagram

I did this question with frames. I recognized that since S, X, V, and W could not go in position 1, only Z or Y could be in position 1. Based on this, I made frames with Z and Y in position 1.

Do you have any thoughts on whether using frames here is too time-consuming?

Guarantee Conditional Logic

Can you explain how to diagram the following statement: Nicole will not accept any offer on the car below her asking price?

I diagrammed it as follows and want to make sure it is correct:
BAP --> ~A
A-->~BAP

While doing LSAT Interact, there is a quiz on diagramming the following statement: Neither S nor G will eat any cake that has no chocolate. I don't understand how to diagram this properly. I (incorrectly) diagrammed it as follows: ~S-->~C; ~G-->~C Can you please explain the reasoning behind th...

For question 2, is the fastest way to approach this problem to go through the answer choices one by one to see which one cannot be the fifth valve?

I do now understand how the conclusion was diagrammed as Comedy/tragedy-->~ romance + ~ satire. The conclusion is "neither tragedy nor comedy can be classified as satirical literature or romance literature." I diagrammed this as: ~comedy/~tragedy-->romance+satire Am I diagramming nei...

Re: Q21 - Any student who is not

Thanks for bring your question to the forum! In some ways this question is fairly straight forward if you're familiar with conditional relationships and your task on sufficient assumptions. But the test-writer does a good job in hiding the simplicity of the argument behind convoluted language. Here...

Order Mismatch Setup Question

For #2 of page 256 of the LG Strategy Guide, is O the only other option besides R that can go in the morning or afternoon on Wednesday? I am making the inference that P cannot go in the evening on Wednesday. Is this correct reasoning?

How to diagram statements with "if and only if"

On page 69 of the LR Strategy Guide for Question #3, A and B use the phrases "if and only if". How are we supposed to diagram these statements?

Re: Q16 - Taylor: Researchers at a local

I understand that A, B, and C are wrong because Sandra doesn't address them. Why is E wrong?

I was also confused with the wording of the question: in these questions, are we supposed to locate a point that both parties have addressed and they would disagree about?

Thanks!

Manhattan Prep LG Strategy Guide, page 148

For the question on page 148, I do not understand how M can be one of the bands that can perform third when there are 3 bands before it. Is this a typo? Don't T, P, and O have to come before M?

Q18

For this question, I answered it by writing out all the inferences:

1 cannot be H, S, T
2 cannot be H, T
3 cannot be T
4 cannot be R
5 cannot be R, F
6 cannot be R, S, F, G

Is there a faster way to solve this problem?
