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?
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...
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 ...
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...
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?
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...

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...
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...
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?
On page 58 of the LR Strategy Guide, it says the following A successful person is also a smart person. [NOT sufficient] A successful person is also a funny person. [NOT sufficient] A successful person is also a smart and funny person. [IS sufficient] I understand why they are all necessary assumptio...
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?
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?
