LR Question 5 Explanation

QUESTION TEXT: Most parents who are generous are good parents, but some…

QUESTION TYPE: Must be True

ANALYSIS: Some good parents are self centered and good listeners. Most parents who are generous are good parents (and therefore also good listeners). If you aren’t a good listener, you aren’t a good parent.

That is all we know, look for one of those three things.

___________

1. Good listener is a necessary condition for being a good parent, not a sufficient condition.
2. This could be true, but it doesn’t have to be true. Perhaps every good listener is a good parent.
3. Not necessarily true. Perhaps only 10% of parents are generous (and most of that 10% are good parents).
4. CORRECT. Yes. Some parents who are self centered are good parents, and therefore good listeners.
5. We have no idea. Fewer refers to a number of parents, such as 540,000. We have no idea whether there are more generous parents or more self-centered parents. If 95% of parents are self centered, it could be the case that most good parents are also self-centered.

Recap: The question begins with “Most parents who are generous are good parents, but some”. It is a Must be True question. Learn how to master LSAT MBT questions on the LSAT Logical Reasoning question types page.
