LSAT 8 | Section 1 | Logical Reasoning: Q24

LR Question 24 Explanation

QUESTION TEXT: Advertisement: In today’s world, you make a statement…

QUESTION TYPE: Must be True

FACTS:

1. You make a statement about yourself by the car you own.
2. The message of the SKX is clear: the owner is dynamic, aggressive and successful

ANALYSIS: If you want to show the world you are dynamic, aggressive and successful then you may wish to buy a SKX. If you don’t want to show these things then you shouldn’t.

___________

1. Not necessarily. These are just the three qualities that the SKX broadcasts.
2. CORRECT. Yes. Any owner of the SKX would be broadcasting the claim that they are dynamic and successful.
3. We don’t actually know if people who own the SKX actually are more aggressive. The car just sends the message that they are.
4. There could be many other cars that announce the owner is successful.
5. It is true that the message is unambiguous. But we might not notice that the car’s owner was that sort of person (assuming the car wasn’t nearby.) They might just look like a pudgy, balding and unassuming man.
