Premise: Action ---> Censorship Conclusion: ~Action ----> ~Censorship And of course we are told one way of leading to censorship, so we cannot justifiably conclude that other actions do not lead to censorship. Hi, how is "public unwillingness to to provide funds for certain kinds..."...

Could you also say that D) is the only choice where the waste is fed directly back into the process? "Tailoring the production of waste from a manufacturing process so the waste from the process can be directly fed back into that process or a related one " Plastic is the waste that goes ba...

Hi,

What is the difference between answer D) and answer B)? Is it between the profit of each bottle versus the aggregate profit?

What's the significance of that difference?

Thanks!

Can someone break this down? Before I moved on to the AC I guessed the flaw to be ignoring the likelier possibility that Dr. Shirley Martin was a part of the 5% of women professors. Things got messy as i went down to the answer choices. I was swayed by D because of the similarity in language. I also...

Could you flush out the argument a little bit more? Especially relate it to answer choice D)?


I'm still not understanding it. I'm confused by the introduction of C). Also, is this diagrammable? I can't internalize the logic.

I chose E) with a lot of confidence. Looking back, there seems to be other flaws that I missed. I initially chose E) because it seemed to weaken the alternative (choosing a non-purebred dog). I thought E) was saying: yes, non-purebreds might not have genetic abnormality, but their offspring might ha...

I had a similar reaction when I read Kaplan's explanation for this question, specifically the part Goriano mentions in the above post. I can see how the presence of titanium in the Vinland Map can lead to the conclusion that the map may be from 15th century, but how are we to assume that a mere pre...

The flaws in answer choice D) are mostly technical: Flaw #1: "It analyzes the cause s of a specific historical event..." - there could only be one possible cause mentioned: the readjustment movement mission to stop government involvement and increase Native American assimilation. There is ...

I first misinterpreted the flaw to be C), that the author assumes the surgeon's skills remain unchanged through out a surgeon's life. I assumed the argument was making an un-comparable analogy. A pill's composition can't be compared to a surgeon's skill--the composition seems more un-changable as op...

I initially eliminated all of the answers, including the right one, E). Why is e) correct but not d)? d) some tulip trees are not as old as the oldest sycamore trees - eliminated because we don't know the relationship between S and T. It belongs in the territory of 'we don't know' e) some sycamores ...

You say "geek," I say "winner" Thanks for this! It really motivated my studying today, knowing there are real-life uses for these questions. P.S. Interstate 5? You must be a Californian! The California Highway Patrol is relentless with this kind of stuff. Good for you for challen...

Hi Matt,

I still had trouble understanding the stimulus. Number-based games are exactly my problem. Do you have any advice? I often get stumped on these kinds of questions.

Thanks!

Hi, OP. You can't draw chains because the terms don't follow. Though the question stem read " if statements above are both true," it doesn't mean that both statements have to be relevant to each other. The answer is concerned only with the first statement. And, yes! You are right that it i...

I eliminated B) because I didn't think the stimulus made it clear that "protection of forest" included facilitating the opening of pods, preventing overabundance of insects, etc. The first sentence also says that the list above are things required for a forest to FLOURISH. I wasn't convinc...

Agreed. The entire point of the passage flew over me.
What is the purpose of the third paragraph?

How is it used to show that Herbert's treatment of Impressionism was inadequate?

Thanks!

Could you explain further why the relative dates are necessary to the argument?

This was my reasoning for the correct answer. Hope it helps First, identify the conclusion and how it is supported by the premise. P: Humans can ingest up to 10 milligrams of the hormone a day without adverse affects P: No one would eat even one entire deer in one day -meaning if they did eat a deer...

Argument goes like this: Opposing point: Some scientists believe relationship between mice and diminished to the point that it creates dependence of humans on mice Con: The view ignores significant facts Premise : Fact 1 - mice have a wider population distribution than any other mammal except humans...

Hello fellow LSAT peeps, My breakdown of the stimulus goes as follows: Premise : According to a government official, over 75% of the voice-recorder tapes taken from small airplanes involved in relatively minor accidents record the whistling of the pilot during the fifteen minutes immediately precedi...

Thanks so much for clearing that up! It completely flew over my head. Your analogy really broke it down.

Thanks, OP, for posting this question. Could not for the life of me figure out why A) was the correct answer.
