Logical Reasoning

Post by ltowns1 » Wed Aug 27, 2014 2:39 pm

I'm just curious, can you turn EVERY unstated assumption on LR turn into a if, then statement?

Ex: Susie went to the store therefore she got bread.

(Assumption: If Susie goes to the store, she got bread)

I suppose you can by why would you want to? You're only making things harder for yourself as you won't need to for most questions. Not only that remember that you may not set up the conditional statement properly. The LSAT isn't about what's real life truth. A lot of the questions your asked to close to gap in reasoning or find the flaw.

Yeah, thanks for answering. I thought about it this afternoon, and you're right. I was thinking the same thing.
