+1. Looking for a better explanation.

It seems as though we are totally neglecting intrinsic properties, by reference of the above diagrammed conditionals, and I'm not exactly sure why.

I can understand how B challenges the conclusion in the passage, but could anyone explain why C cannot be the answer? C also seems to challenge the conclusion because if consumers are slow to notice changes in product labels, there will be no point in prohibiting the "sugar-free" labeling...

The problem I have with this question is that it says, "The southern half of a certain region of the earth was covered entirely by water during the..." Can you tell me exactly how this would mean that the entire southern half of the earth was covered in water, when the stimulus says that &...

Okay, so this is a cannot be true question; or if you'd prefer, a must be false question. The best way, in my opinion, to attack these questions is to briefly become familiar with the stimulus, and THEN move to the answer choices, knocking answer choices out that could be true . (A) This answer choi...

On page 436, for question 9, the book does not bold the answer choice, as does every other review section.

Was a problem for me, as I am short on time and can only read the reviews for questions that I missed.

Pretty much. I'd look at it more like this: We know that X --> Y. And we know we have Y. And then we conclude that, since Y, maybe X. That's totally true. And maybe A, B, D, ZZ, QQQ, and "maybe" an infinite number of other things. The pattern to see is that we are given a condition, th...

The conclusion of this argument is the last sentence. "But the policy of dumping nuclear waste only in the more sparsely populated regions indicates...misgiving about safety..." The only supporting evidence for this claim is 2 premises. 1. It is repeatedly claimed that people are not bein...

Ran here to post my thoughts on the question: I really just want to jump straight into the argument. (Conclusion)The new bill will almost surely fail to pass. (Premise)The leaders of all major parties have stated that they oppose it. PIL = Passed into Law S = Supported it. and the "-" deno...

Found another error. On page 232, where it discusses the categories of incorrect answer choices for strengthen or weakening questions, it says: "If you can't see how the answer impacts the author's point, or if you can see the answer either strengthening or weakening the argument, depending on ...

Is there a reason for why you switched from using regular text in explaining the answer choices to italicized text in explaining the answer choices on page 230? The book switches back to regular text on page 236. Something small, but I think it would be better if the book is consistent in that regar...

I'll take a stab at this question. Rotelle is committed to which one of the following? (A) is incorrect because Rotelle is not addressing all old people, which this statement does. Also, we don't know exactly what cut off for "old" is, according to Rotelle, which makes this answer choice w...

Okay, so this is a flaw question. The hardest part about this question is not the stimulus, but rather, the abstract wording of the answer choices. When you come to a question with answer choices that have abstract wording, its best to move from wrong to right. Lets jump straight to the answer choic...

This question is pretty straight-forward, but I think a lot of people get tripped up because they DONT READ ALL OF THE ANSWER CHOICES. Yeah, I said it! READ ALL OF THE ANSWER CHOICES! Okay, so right off the bat, a proactive test taker would say, "hey, this dude just appealed to authority! He sa...

This question is a flaw question, and they're my favorite type to answer. I mean, LSAT questions are FULL of flaws, so why not have fun doing them! I digress... So in this question, right off the bat I noticed that there was a conditional statement: "as there cannot be a good legal system where...

This is a necessary assumption question. The argument is basically about that they examined fossils of species that still exist, they now know the maximum temperature that could have existed at that place and period. (A) is incorrect because this is an unnecessary comparison of what weather beetles ...

Okay, so the stimulus is not very tricky; its the answer choices that you must get through in order to find the correct answer. (A) is incorrect because this is not sufficient to establish the conclusion and I'll give you some numbers to show why: Lets assume that Martown has 100 trees and Seclee ha...

I'd like to give my take on this question. Premise 1: In a bureaucracy, all decisions are arrived at by a process that involves many people. Premise 2: There is no one person who has the authority to decide whether a project will proceed or not. Conclusion: As a consequence, in bureaucracies, risky ...

I didnt see an explanation for this, so I'll give it a shot. This is a must be true question with a lengthy stimulus. There is a lot going on here, so we must read through the stimulus with an open mind, knowing that the best way to answer this question is through POE (process of elimination). (A) i...

Thanks, the diagram is very clear. However, I don't understand why B is wrong? cuz some S are younger than M, and D are younger than M, so it is possible that some D are as old as the youngest S? You basically talked about the answer to your own question. If you are facing a must be true question a...

I hope I helped, and if anyone could add, or correct me, much appreciated. I'll add my approach to this question: The facts: 1) You make a statement about the person you are by the car you own. 2) The mesage of the SKX Mach-5 is unambiguous: THe owner is Dynamic, Aggressive, and Successful. Which o...
