LG Game 1 Question 2 Explanation, by LSATHacks
On this question, you should look for a type of rule where one variable being out causes another to be in.
For example, T being out causes K to be in. So any answer without T and also without K is wrong. We always need one of K or T to be in.
There are no other rules of that type.
One of T or K always has to be in – you can’t make a scenario without them. So they’re the only possible right answers. D is CORRECT. It says T could be the only fruit for sale.
For this question, I was able to eliminate all other options except A and D because if any of them were in, it would force other fruits in as well. But when I got to my last two options, either of them can be put in singly can they not? I understand why tangerines can be the only fruit selected, but is this not true of figs as well? If you choose figs, that does not force any other fruits to also be in does it not? Would that not also satisfy the conditions of the question?
One of either T or K is always in. If T is in (answer D), then this rule is fulfilled. But if F is in, then one of T or K *also* has to be in, so A is wrong.
I don’t agree with you, if figs is in it, I still don’t need to put in any other fruit. figs is also a good option. There is no evidence to support your statement that “tangerines and kiwis must be in the basket”
You may be reading these for fun, in which case go for it! But I should note that LG is no longer part of the LSAT. We’re keeping the pages up for anyone who wants to do the games for fun, but they won’t be updated any more.
I’m not perusing these materials solely for entertainment; rather, I’m diligently preparing for the LSAT exam administered by Peking University School of Transnational Law (STL), as it’s a crucial step towards my graduate studies. With the examination looming tomorrow, and the Logical Games (LG) section being a significant component, I appreciate your dedication to maintaining this invaluable website. Thank you for your continued support!
Oh, that’s very interesting. I hope your exam went well. Could you tell me more about how this school is using the LSAT? The official LSAT test by LSAC has discontinued the logic games section.
I’ll definitely leave these explanations up, we just won’t be updating them. Good luck in your legal studies.
