LSAT 36 Explanations

LR Question 11 Explanation, by LSATHacks

QUESTION TEXT: Any sale i tern that is purchased…

QUESTION TYPE: Must be True

Diagram:

Sale item ? store credit but no refund.

Home appliances, gardening tools and some construction tools are on sale. Therefore they can be returned for store credit but not for a refund.

ANALYSIS: We don’t know anything about products that aren’t on sale. Stick to what we know.

___________

  1. We don’t know. There might be other reasons that other items can’t be returned.
  2. We don’t know anything about items not on sale.
  3. We don’t know. Maybe all construction tools are returnable. We only know some construction tools aren’t eligible for a full refund.
  4. CORRECT. All gardening equipment is on sale so none of it can be returned for a refund.
  5. We only know that some construction tools are on sale. The ones that aren’t on sale might be returnable for a refund.

    I looked over choice D because it didnt get specific enough when it spoke about the refund. The passage says a refund of the purchase price. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t a refund. Maybe they refund at 75% of the value.

      (1) LSAC does expect you to make common sense assumptions on the LSAT. In ordinary usage, “refund” generally implies a full refund unless otherwise specified (e.g. “a refund of 75% of the purchase price).
      (2) The stimulus uses the phrase “refund of the purchase price”. You can assume that when the answer choice says “refund”, it is referring to a similar kind of refund.
