LR Question 2 Explanation, by LSATHacks

QUESTION TEXT: Ann: All the campers at Camp Winnehatchee go to…

QUESTION TYPE: Misinterpretation

ANALYSIS: Ann said that all of the campers at Winnehatchee come from the tri-cities high school. Bill misunderstood her to be saying that all of the students at the tri-cities high school camp at Winnehatchee.

W? TC became TC ?W

___________

1. Ann didn’t even mention Lakemont; it’s not clear why Bill would have thought that.
2. Bill actually thought she said all of them were. Otherwise he would not have mentioned that some go to Lakemont. “Some” cannot disprove a most statement.
3. Neither of them mentions withdrawing. It’s unlikely Bill thought she meant this.
4. If Anne meant this then Bill couldn’t have disproved her by mentioning Camp Lakemont (since it is a summer camp.)
5. CORRECT. This is another way of phrasing Bill’s misunderstanding. He thought every student at that high school was at camp Winnehatchee.

Recap: The question begins with “Ann: All the campers at Camp Winnehatchee go to”. It is a Misinterpretation question. Learn more about LSAT Misinterpretation questions in our guide to LSAT Logical Reasoning question types.
