Other Areas

Hi, I have noticed a pattern and was wondering if and how it is valid. Say for example an argument states: "Company X is trying out a new training pattern in order to improve productivity. This program works by XYZ reason (premise supporting this)." Many times if there is a strengthen ques...

Re: Q20 - it is absurd to argue

What is the correct definition of "empirical evidence" mentioned in choice E ? (in order to have an understanding if this pops up in the future)

Thanks

Re: Q19 - Vanwilligan: Some have argued that

Is there any tips on how to eliminate answer choices that are the reverse of what we want? Like (E) vs. (D). in this problem.

I usually get it down to the right answer and the reverse but have a hard time eliminating the reverse.

Thanks!

Re: Q24 - No one who works at

how do we assume that Lester works at Leilas? Shouldnt they say Lester, who works at L...etc". That was problematic for me especially because the answer choices were phrased in ways that made it clear that they were part of the group under examination/ fit the qualifications..

Re: Q20 - Scientists studying a common type

Can we go over answer choice (C)? I got this one right but I get tripped up when they start throwing in conditional statements into answer choices on main conclusion questions. How is C different than B? (aside from the fact that it is given that bacteria are in fact diverse) And for a hypothetical ...

Re: Advanced Conditional Statements

Just for a clarification on only vs. the only: The phrases "the only" and "if only" will ALWAYS introduce the sufficient condition, correct? I had heard about "the only" but am not sure about "if only"... The phrase "only if" will ALWAYS introduce th...

Re: New Logic Games on Recent PTs

Re: Q14 - Superconductor development

out of curiosity, what is a good "lsat-y" definition to keep in the back of our heads when we see the word generalization as described in answer choice B? I noticed that this comes up quite a lot in both wrong and right answer choices for method of argument type questions but I just never ...
