Can someone show me how to diagram this question and answer choices. I believe this is where formal logic comes into play.
Prep Test 35 Section 1 #22

I explain how to approach
this exact question here (it's the second bolded example).
answer choices, diagrammed:
(a) H -> T
(b) H -> C
(c) T -> P
(d) H -> NOT C (you had a typo. it says "of", not "if")
(e) C -> NOT P
(you may want to edit your post to remove the text of the actual question - just leave the reference to PT, Section, Question)

Do you think it is imperative to be able to diagram for the LSAT?

Can you reccommend a book on formal logic, I can diagram well enough to do a conditional statement and the contrapositive, but formal logic is foreign to me.
