Hey there @"Jonathan W."
“Special kinds of cotton that grow fibers of green or brown have been around since the 1930s --but only recently became (commercially feasible) when a long-fibered variety that (can be spun by machine) was finally bred.”

@splitter You appear solidly dedicated. Great decision to move out and allot all/most time to LSAT study. Is your goal achievable? I want to say yes! You will receive tons of support from fellow 7sagers. Some will probably advise allowing yourself m…
@aaabbbccc Here is what I have:
You’ve got #1 right…If one Knowingly brings about misfortune --> Blamed
But, #2 the stim puts in a “some” situation. /K –some-> /B which leaves the door open for some to be blamed even if they /K.
To make log…
@joy.pyles Check in with @nicole.hopkins . She loves the LSAT and reading comp. Also, picking up a copy of "The LSAT Trainer" could help improve your approach.
This is what @DumbHollywoodActor had to say 4 months ago:
"Okay. This question hurt me in the brains.
Here’s my attempt at explaining it:
First let’s translate the two sentences: If understanding a word always involves knowing its dictionary defin…
If it just so happened that two students passed who were least enthusiastic yet were also committed then the conclusion fails. Therefore, it is “necessary” that there is zero overlap between the two characteristics for the conclusion hold. (D) affir…
@Pacifico has offered lots of good LG advice. I'll try to find you a link to his older posts. @nicole.hopkins has posted a recent RC tutorial video. I'll try to find that as well. Hang tight and keep up the practicing.

P1 Certain introductory undergraduate science courses are designed to be so demanding that only students most committed to being science majors will pass the class.
P2 some students (who are least enthusiastic about science…
Well, the problem with (A) is that all it really says is that there are students who enter universities who do not have the prequalifications to go into a chem major. But that just means some university students have backgrounds in Art, Drama, Lit e…
(C) talk about non-canceled shows which is irrelevant. (D) says all canceled shows were PDs and then gives us information about PDs, mainly that nobody cares to watch them and shows that nobody cares to watch tend to be canceled.
Yeah...because it is only a NA question it is at least necessary that the two ideas are linked, so I suppose it could even have gone logically the other way.
You identified the gap perfectly. The thing that JY logically notates is that the "two readers agree" part is the logical equivalent to "popular belief is false". Then indeed connecting the two sufficient conditions would lead to the conclusion (alm…
To clarify: In (C) the info we are given is that a new show, had it not been canceled last season, was not a police drama. This just means the non-canceled shows were perhaps cooking shows, shows about honey badgers, Kardashian spin-offs and whateve…
Resolve the apparent paradox. Fact1 The number of 1st year chemistry majors remains unchanged for ten years. Fact2 Jobs outlook is good (better than ever) for graduates. Fact3 Over the course of the last ten years the actual number of students gradu…
For this one, I decided to reword the story a little to get a better handle on what is going on.
P1 Last season W&W produced a number of new tv programs. Of those new programs most (let’s say 51%) of them were canceled. P2 Those that were cancel…
"One reason I made it home for Thanksgiving was that I got on an airplane." Does that mean that getting on an airplane is sufficient to making it home for Thanksgiving? No. It was simply a factor involved in that happening. I think I immediately ran…

And while a lot of folks can improve 13 points over their diagnostic in 8-9 months, well, we might have ANOTHER 13 points by which we need to improve to reach our goals.
It's like she's looking right into my soul....eerie.
"result in" to me is actually [the arrow] " --->". So whatever is on the left of "results in" is the sufficient condition and whatever is on the right is the necessary condition. The same thing goes for "leads to" Et al.

@"Accounts Playable" @"GSU Hopeful" I'm a little concerned that always using "it is a given" as a premise indicator might lead in some cases to mistaking a contextual statement as an argument's premise. I would say the phrase -could- be a premise …
If there were wide spread *disagreement* among the connoisseurs then the argument would be strengthened...we shouldn't give credence to their opinion b/c they cannot agree on the "certain way" in which it was moving.

Did I diagram these conditionals correctly????
Just be careful .. in the second scenario..M and N have no relationship to eachother.
