QUESTION TEXT: The annual Journal for Publication, which often solicits…

QUESTION TYPE: Must be True

FACTS: If you are accepted for publication in the journal you submitted before March 6 AND you are a certified psychoanalyst.

Steve was accepted for publication and submitted before March 6.

ANALYSIS: This question is very straightforward is you’re clear on the sufficient and necessary conditions. Since Steve was accepted for publication he must be a certified psychoanalyst.

___________

1. CORRECT. Everyone who is published is a psychoanalyst so Steve must be a psychoanalyst.
2. Steve is often published but he may only have submitted once to this particular journal.
3. Hard to say. Some specialists are only an authority on one topic.
4. We only know the journal solicits articles “often.” It could be they didn’t solicit Steve.
5. It’s quite possible that Steve is a total bore.

Recap: The question begins with “The annual Journal for Publication, which often solicits”. It is a Must be True question. Learn how to master LSAT MBT questions on the LSAT Logical Reasoning question types page.
