Hi again Christine,

Once more, thanks a lot for your very intelligible and thorough explanations/answers to my specific questions. Much appreciated!

Cheers,

I understand why C is the answer, but I'm not quite sure how to rule out B. If part of the cave paintings on the islands did not survive the centuries, then maybe some of the lost parts did depict sea animals, which would strengthen the author's argument... Can someone pleaseeeee explain? Predomina...

I'd like to address two points in reyessandovalarturo's post above. They are both in his second-to-last paragraph: It can at this point be concluded that Answer Choice (D) meets the criteria of weakening the conclusion. It is also at this point that answer (C) is ignored as irrelevant because it spe...

For answer choice A: S ----> ~SS ~SS ----> S (S = spring, SS stop sneezing) Is it? Maybe: S ----> ~SS JSO ----> S (???) (S = spring, SS stop sneezing, JSO = just sneezed once) So we should assume that -SS = JSO. But does it? Could someone clairfy? First, please note that answer choice (...

I have a question about the stimulus. The first sentence says, "Governments have only one response to public criticism of socially necessary services, regulation of the activity providing these services." Does this mean that whenever there exists public criticism of socially necessary ser...

What's the best strategy for this question if you did not use/make frames? I am not sure that this is the "best" strategy but it does not depend on using frames per se. It does assume that you have already scribbled down a "hypothetical" arrangement of the clerks. Probably one o...

Can someone please explain why M and O cannot be connected? What rule does that violate? Why can't I have MO if I don't include MN or NO? I assume your question concerns #18 answer choice (C) . The reason you cannot have MO is because it would violate the first listed condition: "The path is c...

If (C) was written in a "fail to consider" format to say "fails to consider that most people who read articles about the exhibit also attended the exhibit", can this be a correct answer? or must it say "all" instead of "most" to be correct? It does not matter...

See lines 36 to 41. The word "bizarre" although used by the author is wholly attributed to the physics community of the time when Planck came up with the idea of discrete energy levels: "... and took the then bizarre position."

Hi, Could someone please confirm (or refute) my analysis below? Answer choice (E) states: "typically influenced by what they think others feel about [something]." One, the argument does not give enough evidence to be able to conclude that a certain thing is "typical." Two, the on...

Hi, Could someone help me with answer choice (A), please? The stimulus says two things about small cars: (1) "more likely to be seriously damaged;" and (2) "provide less protection for their occupants." So based on this, even if (A) were true, I'd still be left with the second pr...

- lawyers would be forced to undergo a grueling process of investigating a complex set of financial variables relating to their client and the case (B) goes against that first big criticism. Would somebody please confirm (or refute) for me that (B) goes against the first big criticism only partiall...

(C) "largely irrelevant" is pretty strong.

Can we not throw out (C) simply because the passage never talks about "avant-garde" theatre? Thanks.

Thanks Christine,

Although initially I was cognizant of the "correct" detail, my logic nevertheless failed somewhere along the way. Your explanation clears it up. Thanks.

I think Cyrus nailed it. What does the Question Stem tell us? Flaw Break down the Stimulus: Conclusion : WME's shouldn't interfere with the natural habitats of wild creatures. Evidence : interfering with the wild environment to help endangered species makes it harder for non-endangered ones to surv...

Hi.

Could someone, please, confirm for me (or disprove) that we can chain the third and fourth sentences this way:

SSM <---some---> labelled miniature ----> tub/pot

which would imply that

SSM <---some---> tub/pot.

Thank you.

Hey tz_strawberry, you really want to be careful about trying to make blanket rules that are "always" true. The LSAT is really good and creating new instances that seem to violate rules like that. However, "is," "are," "were," etc... do establish conditionals...

I suppose two errata make a right.

The graph on p. 378 in my book is correct (no arrows between M and L going from "in" to "out"). However, I still don't get why at least one of L/M ought to be out as shown in the T-chart on p. 379. For example: L ---> M ---> ~H ---> U. Clearly both L and M are "in.&...

The very end of the stimulus is where I got tripped up: "are also right." From the discussions above I see that everyone effortlessly equated MORALLY RIGHT = RIGHT. Is it because the stimulus says "ALSO right" that we can do that from contextual clues: if A is morally right and i...
