Hello,

Question regarding number 5: In the chart it seems to me like Peter is a floater, and floaters can pretty much go anywhere most of the time. So why is it that Answers A. and E. are wrong? It seems ok to put Peter in 2nd or in 6th.

P.S. Answer choice D does make sense to me.

Thanks

Hi! :D I don't find the solution to number 5 in the pdf satisfactory. It seems to me that O is a floater in Option 1, so putting M first would not make it the same as option 2. It would be O-N-L..etc. The same thing goes for B and D. The only ones we can eliminate for sure are C and E. Please Help a...

I understand why Y can't meet at 5, but I'm wondering moreso about what is the best approach to this question once you figure out the SYW-T string.

Is trial end error through each answer choice the best strategy or is their a faster way?

Hi Dan, in the solution you have posted, I can't understand your fourth inference. Why is that the earliest Sue could graduate be in 1993? Why couldn't she graduate in 1992? If this is discussed in one of the earlier posts, I tried to see where Mike and Matt posted their solutions, but I can't find ...

Hello. I found this weaken question difficult/time consuming when doing the practice test because of the format.

Hi, for number 17, in your explanation for it, I don't understand why Y/R have to be in one of the three in-slots? Please help!

Hi Matt, I've read the previous back and forth about answer choice "C" but I'm still not understanding why it can be eliminated. For me,the language of the answer choice"c" is really really throwing me off! Mainly because when I'm trying to substitute the particular statements wi...

Hi ! :D I don't understand how the correct answer is an opposing point, because i don't really understand the content of the argument. Why is there a contrast between "aid organization sending previously stored supplies to the [region][of][disaster]" and donors who want to help a specific ...

HELLO LSAT FORUM PATROLLERS, I am having issues creating my tree for this game; ergo, I got only one question out of 4 correct. This is what I have: Variables: F,J,K,L,M,O,F the general relative ordering: a.M-O b.L-O c.L-O d. L-P-F My tree looks something like this: M L --O K--J- P --F I know the tr...

I'm having an issue with this statement: "(B) is correct because all the other choices are not supported at all by the text." because applying Noah's strategy to tackle this to answer choice D is throwing me off. If I apply the question: "Could the author disagree with this answer, gi...

Hi Aileen, I understand the process of elimination of A-D, however, just so that I can improve my reading comprehension in general, do you think you can explain to me what answer choice "E" is referring to when it says that the court failed to apply "them" correctly( is it the in...

Merci Boucoup! Looking back, I see I was rushing too much in trying to understand!

wow! that "should" in answer choice "C" is pretty subtle. Thanks for pointing that out, from the tone of the argument, I totally assumed he was making a recommendation but like you said, he is simply pointing out phenomena. I'm still a bit foggy on D. Can you tell me if I underst...

Hello! I have a personal vendetta against CBT questions. they are so tricky! My only way to get vengeance is to get them right lol and I can't figure this one out. My issue here is that to me it seems like answer choice "C is also true. I am basing this off the diagram that was posted. In Case ...

Hello :) I understand the overall weakness of the argument: that the negative consequences of moral socialization do not necessarily outweigh possible benefits of this socialization technique: it might stop a child from destroying public property ( the children in Bristol,Manchester and Liverpool wh...

Hello :) Would you consider the argument misleading in that it says " new building technologies...have cut billions of dollars" rather than say "current building technologies"? I ask this because I got a little thrown off by answer choice E, due to the repetition of the word &quo...

Hi, I have a question in general about "weaken questions" that was raised when I reviewed my work for this problem. Is the only way to "weaken" arguments by attacking assumptions which offer counterclaims, as this question did? For this problem in specific, it provided additional...
