48. It can be proved by an example that our words are devoid of meaning as they cannot be distinguished from their opposites. People think that they are aware of the difference between the meanings of 'bald' and 'having hair' Let us suppose that an average twenty-one year old has X strands of hair on his or her head. We say that such a person is not bald but has hair. But surely one hair less would make no

difference, and a person with X - 1 hairs on his or her head would be said to have hair. Suppose we go on like this, decreasing one hair at a time, the result would be the same. Then what difference would there be between someone who has one hair and someone who has none? We call them both bald. Thus, we cannot make a distinction between the terms 'bald' and 'having hair.' Among the following statements, which statement best counters the argument above? A. The word 'bald' can be translated into other languages. B. A word can have more than one meaning. C. A word such as 'monkey' can be applied to several animals that differ in some respects. D. Words can lack precision without being meaningless. E. People cannot think clearly without using words.

49. Virus M helps in controlling the population of gnats; they manage to do this by killing
the moth's larvae. Though the virus is always present in the larvae, it is only every six or seven years that the virusseriously decimates the numbers of larvae, greatly reducing the population of the gnats. Scientists are of the opinion that the gnats, usually latent, are activated only when the larvae experience biological stress. In case the above mentioned scientists are correct, it can be inferred that the decimation of gnat populations by the virus M could be most probably activated by the following conditions? A. A shift by the gnats from drought areas to a normal area occupied by them B. The resultant stress from defoliation of trees attacked by the gnats for the second consecutive year. C. Attacks on the larvae by all kinds by parasitic wasps and flies. D. Starvation of the gnat larvae due to over population. E. Spraying of gnat infested areas with laboratory - raised Virus M.

63. There is a theory that the dinosaurs inhabiting the earth were destroyed when a huge
heavenly body hit the earth. The impact of the heavenly body when it struck the earth threw a mass of pulverized debris into the atmosphere. This dust created a fog, which blocked the sunlight depleting plant life. This resulted in the perishing of the planteating dinosaurs; the meat-eating dinosaurs, who preyed on the plant-eaters inturn starved to death. Which among the following statements, would best support the above mentioned theory, if true?

A.

Enough dust has been sent into the atmosphere by modern volcanic explosions

to change the color of sunsets around the world for several years. B. Craters formed by heavenly bodies are plentiful in several areas of the South west where many dinosaur fossils have also been found. C. Studies conducted recently on the bone structure of dinosaurs show that they

D.

were very agile and not ponderous awkward animals as popularly believed. The sedimentary rock strata of the earth formed from atmospheric dust at the time the dinosaursdisappeared contains minerals and other trace elements in proportions characteristic of the heavenly bodies.

71. Authorities concerned with mass transport in metropolitan cities are struggling with
deficits. Commuterscomplain about delays and breakdowns, cuts in service, and fares higher than they are accustomed to paying. For all these reasons and because the price of fuel is still not prohibitive, the number ofcommuters using public transportation has fallen, adding to the deficits. Which among the following statements about the relationship between the number of commuters using public transportation and the price of fuel is best supported by the above passage?

A. B. C. D. E.

With the rise in the price of fuel, there is a rise in the number of commuters using public transportation. Even if the price of fuel rises, the number of commuters using public transportation will continue to decline. The number of commuters using public transportation will rise, if the price of fuel rises to a prohibitive level. Most of the commuters using public transportation do not use fuel, therefore fluctuations in the price of fuel is unlikely to affect the number of commuters using public transportation. The price of fuel is always low enough to make private transportation cheaper than public transportation; therefore fluctuations in the price of fuel is unlikely to affect the number ofcommuters using public transportation.

72. Pharmaceutical firms are now engaged in the production of analogues of

endorphins, peptides, which are thought to transmit messages among brain cells, which bring about pain relief. The pharmaceutical firms claim that the analogues, when injected into the bloodstream, will lead to effective and long-lasting pain relief by increasing the action of peptides already present in the brain. The claims put forth by the pharmaceutical firms would be considerably weakened if it were true that

A. B. C. D. E.
Ans : D

Compared to the other types of neurotransmitters present in the brain, endorphins remain active for a longer time period. Certain peptides have been traced in parts besides the brain, like the alimentary canal and the skin. It is easier and cheaper to produce analogues of peptides in the laboratory than the peptidesthemselves. Analogues of peptides, which are found naturally in the body are often filtered from the blood before the blood circulates in the brain. Endorphins interact chemically both with other naturally occurring peptides and with the brain's other neurotransmitters.

73. Quite often it happens that a particular crisis or opportunity induces people to find a practical use for things, which originally had no serious purpose. To exemplify this principle, consider dolls and mannequins, programmed to move and built for the delight of the wealthy in the eighteenth century; these were the forerunners of the modern computer. Similarly, it is almost certain that pets were the first domesticated animals. Domestication of animals seems to have arisen as an amusement long before it had any practical application. Which among the following, provides another example supporting the above mentioned principle, if true?

A. America was discovered as a by-product of the search for ginger, cloves, pepper, and cinnamon. B. Children often imitate adults in their games. C. Till the commercial and scientific potential of the spyglass was recognized and its power of magnification was improved it remained a mere source of diversion. D. Some culture horses were used only for pleasure and not for work, even though in those cultures people had to labor hard in the absence of laboring animals. E. People who made moving dolls and mannequins in the eighteenth century were also clockmakers. Ans : C 74.

Youll be given

35 minutes to work the section. Typically, the section will contain 2324 questions. As with Reading Comprehension, the one variable in the Analytical Reasoning section is that you wont be able to predict where it shows up in the order of the different sections of the exam. How It Stacks Up to the Other Sections Analytical Reasoning is the definitive love it or hate it kind of section. Although the section has no mathematical equations on it per se, it does seem that those who intuitively understand spatial reasoning and variable-laden equations (if set A, not set B) do best here. Those of us who enjoy brain teasers and abstract mental puzzles will enjoy what this section has to offer. Its important to remember that a lot of the fear people feel when facing this section is not due to the problems being incredibly difficult. Rather, it is unfamiliarity with facing a logic game for the first time. A logic game is a particular type of question that you will only find in this section of this exam. This section usually contains four or five logic games, each of which commonly includes five to six questionsthough seeing an especially complex problem with eight questions isnt unheard of, particularly when the testers are trying to rattle you. A sample of what a logic game might look like follows: Charles has to put together a roster for his companys annual softball game against their cross-town rival. Hes got eight healthy people that want to bat for the team: Corwin, Dorian, Hal, Joseph, Kamal, Peter, Ralph, and Seth. Hes allowed to submit five names for his roster. However, there are some things to take into consideration: If Ralph plays, Hal must play immediately after Ralph on the roster.

Two of the three managers, Dorian, Kamal, and Ralph, have to be on the team. Corwin and Seth cant be next to each other on the roster. If Kamal is on the team, then Joseph cant be picked. Peter has to play either first or second. 03 4141 ch03 6/22/05 10:53 AM Page 24. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ................. Mastering the Analytical Reasoning 25 Among the questions that people often have at this point is, What on earth does this have to do with my ability to become an attorney? While not as directly applicable as the skills tested for reading and evaluating conclusions from arguments, the Analytical Reasoning does play a vital role in the testing process. Logic games are, at base, designed to measure your ability to quickly understand a system of relationships and to draw conclusions about those relationships. In this sample logic game, its arguable that how Charles puts together the roster for his companys annual softball game isnt applicable to legal training. However, what if Charles were your client in a complex tort case involving an industrial accident? Or a murder case where there were multiple gun shots being fired by a half-dozen individuals during a bank robbery? In these cases, being able to untangle a web of facts to draw the right conclusions and even understanding who sat next to whom as the events unfoldedis a crucial skill. Mastering the Analytical Reasoning Section Although it may be frustrating to pre-law students who enrolled in collegelevel logic classes, those courses provide little solace on this portion of the

LSAT. Philosophical argument, and especially the terminology and symbols used in formal logic, is of no practical use in the exams logic games. However, not all is lost. There are two points to keep in mind that will allow you to master this section. The first is that your scores will start climbing immediately once you start practicing solving logic games. Because this section of the LSAT bears such little resemblance to any other test question you may have seen, the more you practice, the less the unfamiliarity of the questions will be a factor. The second key concept to the mastery of this section is your ability to recognize patterns. For example, a great number of logic games will involve spatial awareness. These can be drawn from questions where You line up objects or people in a sequence. You divide up an object or set of objects into specific groups. You arrange subjects in a specific pattern, say on a shelf or around a table. 03 4141 ch03 6/22/05 10:53 AM Page 25. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ................. 26 Chapter 3 Other logic games involve applying seemingly random criteria to a category or people or objects to create a specific kind of order: You draw conclusions as to the sequence of events. (If A, then B happens, creating condition C.) You select an object that has one or more characteristics. You assign attributes to each object in a set based on the questions descriptions. The reason that these two attributes of the Analytical Reasoning section will help you is that logic games, though they look like a tangle of yarn at first

glance, are innately limited in how they can be written. With enough practice, it is highly unlikely that the writers of the LSAT will be able to come up with a challenging question that you havent tried to tackle before. Some other items to keep in mind to master this section include Throughout the section, the difficulty of the logic games presented will vary randomly, but there are two general rules. First, the initial game that opens the section will not be the most difficult one. Second, the final one or two questions are typically more complex than the others. Time is your enemy in this section. You will not be able to rush on any questionthere are no easy questions that take significantly less time than others. If you can keep a steady place and not allot more than 10 minutes to any one logic game, you will be fine. Of course, the amount of time that you spend on any logic game depends upon how complex or simple it is. A simple game could take you 67 minutes, while more complex games might require a solid 10-minute investment of your time. If youre stuck on one game, it may be best to skip it and return if you can. However, dont skip more than one game. Allocating your entire time to only two of four game results is proof that you need to practice more to pick up your pace. Additionally, trying to skip over no more than one game will reduce the chance that youll be left with blind guessing over a large number of remaining questions, giving you a better chance for a higher score. There is no single question type that is inherently much more difficult or time consuming than other types. You will not benefit if you plan to skip every question of

a given type. Remember, the level of difficulty in this section is not raised by changing the type of question (which is already pretty limited by the format). Difficult is only increased by the number of variables (people around a table, colors on a set of objects) in the question. 03 4141 ch03 6/22/05 10:53 AM Page 26. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ................. Mastering the Analytical Reasoning 27 Diagramming out the question will be useful in this section, so remember that the LSAT includes a couple pages of scratch paper in the back of the test booklet. You can also use the space provided at the bottom of each page of the Analytical Reasoning section. Unless you think best in your head as opposed to on paper, for most people an effective diagram will help you to think about a question clearly. The key to an effective diagram is to keep it neat. If you misplace people in the wrong set of chairs, its best to cross out the diagram and redo it; simply scratching out names or writing on top of incorrect answers will likely confuse you at a critical time. Logic Game Components Each logic game has three separate components: the premise, the conditions, and the questions. The premise establishes the subjects (objects or people) and setting for the game. Part of the difficulty level of the question is established via the number of subjects in a game. This generally ranges from 5 to as many as 10. In our original example of a logic game, the premise would be Charles has to put together a roster for his companys annual softball game against their cross-town rival. Hes got eight healthy people that want to bat for the team: Corwin, Dorian, Hal, Joseph, Kamal, Peter,

Ralph, and Seth. Conditions follow the premise by imposing series of rules or conditions that determine the relationships among the subjects. Together with the premise, the number of the conditions (usually 4 to 6) is the second variable in determining how difficult the question is. Obviously, the more premises and conditions there are, the higher the level of difficulty you can from expect the question. Continuing with our example, the conditions would include If Ralph plays, Hal must play immediately after Ralph on the roster. Two of the three managers, Dorian, Kamal, and Ralph, have to be on the team. Corwin and Seth cant be next to each other on the roster. If Kamal is on the team, then Joseph cant be picked. Peter has to play either first or second. 03 4141 ch03 6/22/05 10:53 AM Page 27. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ................. 28 Chapter 3 Questions based on the relationship of the conditions to premises will follow. For this example, one question could be Which one of these rosters can be submitted? A. Peter, Hal, Corwin, Kamal, Ralph B. Peter, Dorian, Kamal, Corwin, Seth C. Dorian, Ralph, Hal, Peter, Joseph D. Dorian, Peter, Ralph, Hal, Seth E. Peter, Seth, Joseph, Ralph, Hal Unlike what you may find in the sections on Logical Reasoning or Reading Comprehension, there is usually less hesitation when it comes to picking

answers to the question. Rather like mathematical problems, only oneor at most twoanswers will be corrector seem to be correctbased on your deductions. While it is possible to pick the wrong answer if youve misread the question or diagrammed it out incorrectly, you will rarely if ever be in the position where It could be answer A, B, or C, what does my gut feeling say? Dont carry over information provided in any particular question to other questions. Each question exists in its own universe. And just as in the other sections of the LSAT, no matter how odd the answer you come up with may be in real life, it will be correct in the context of that question. 03 4141 ch03 6/22/05 10:53 AM Page 28. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ................. Mastering the Analytical Reasoning 29 Exam Prep Questions 1. The two most common diagrams that youll rely on to solve logic games are the sequence and the matrix. Lets start by looking at our initial example question, which can be best solved using the first of these two diagrams. Charles has to put together a roster for his companys annual softball game against their cross-town rival. Hes got eight healthy people that want to bat for the team: Corwin, Dorian, Hal, Joseph, Kamal, Peter, Ralph, and Seth. If Ralph plays, Hal must play immediately after Ralph on the roster. Two of the three managers, Dorian, Kamal, and Ralph, have to be on the team. Corwin and Seth cant be next to each other on the roster.

If Kamal is on the team, then Joseph cant be picked. Peter has to play either first or second. In this game, you can expect the LSAT testers to ask you to solve for two different things. First, you may have to pick five people out of eight, so expect to get three basic questions posed in one form or another: Who can be in the group? Who must be in the group? Who cannot be in the group? Second, the most likely follow-up question you will encounter in a question when you have positions discussed (for example, Peter has to play first or second) is that youll have to pick a specific order of the team. This means youll have to worry about positions of people in the roster, such as Who is first/second/third/fourth/last? Which of these rosters can be submitted? Which of these rosters is not possible? One factor that the LSAT creators always take into account is that they wont add extra levels of difficulty to questions by throwing too many similarly named people at you. For example, its highly unlikely youd see a question similar to the example using the names Ralph, Roy, Roark, Ray, Robert, and Rick. 03 4141 ch03 6/22/05 10:53 AM Page 29. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ................. 30 Chapter 3 Before you even jump to the questions, its best to diagram out the conditions so that you can answer whatever the testers plan to throw your way. One simple way to do this here is to represent your answer as a five letter sequence, or roster, from left to right. This would visually signify the order that the

people can play in. For example, lets say you choose Corwin, Dorian, Hal, Joseph, and Kamal to play in that specific order. Youd represent it diagrammatically as C-D-H-J-K If youre unsure of a certain spot in the roster, just represent it with a question mark (?). Next, represent the additional conditions cited in the question as subchains or pieces of the puzzle to help us determine the final solution. Rule 1: If R, then R-H. If Ralph plays, then we know two players on the roster: Ralph, and Hal immediately after him. Rule 2: From set (D, K, R), exactly two will play. Basically, out of the set of three people (Dorian, Kamal, Ralph), exactly two will play. Notice that this isnt can play, we know that two of these people will be on the roster. Rule 3: Not (C-S) AND Not (S-C) Basically, Corwin and Seth cannot be immediately before or after each other, if they are to play on the team. Rule 4: If K, then not J If Kamal plays, then Joseph isnt playing. Of course, we can reverse this rule to come up with the corollary: Rule 4 (reverse): If J, then not K. If Joseph is on the team, then Kamal cant be on the team, because if he was, it would violate the fourth rule. Rule 5: P-?-?-?-? or ?-P-?-?-? We use the roster representation to show that Peter is either on the first or

second position on the roster. 03 4141 ch03 6/22/05 10:53 AM Page 30. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ................. Mastering the Analytical Reasoning 31 Next, apply your newly diagrammed rules to the question that applies to this logic game. Use the rules as tools to go through and eliminate wrong answers, those that break one of the rules given to us, until were left with one correct answer. Question: Which one of these rosters can be submitted? A. Peter, Hal, Corwin, Kamal, Ralph B. Peter, Dorian, Kamal, Corwin, Seth C. Dorian, Ralph, Hal, Peter, Joseph D. Dorian, Peter, Ralph, Hal, Seth E. Peter, Seth, Joseph, Ralph, Hal 2. Our second sample question also pertains to the order of objects in a group (in this case puppies instead of softball players). While this could also conceivably be solved with the sequence diagram, if you need more visual representation of a problem, the matrix diagram may be more useful. The premise and conditions of the logic game are On the third Thursday of every month, eight Labrador Retriever puppies (Anne, Boris, Cassie, Daisy, Early, Fancy, Gloria, and Harley) from the Guiding Eyes for the Blind visit the veterinarians office for their monthly checkup. Each puppy is either a black lab or a yellow lab. The puppies each

arrive at the office at a different time. The following conditions apply: Gloria arrives at the vets office before Fancy but after Anne Cassie arrives at the vets office before Gloria Boris arrives at the vets office after Anne but before Fancy Fancy arrives at the vets office before Daisy. Again, lets diagram out the conditions so that you can answer whatever the testers plan to throw your way in this game. The first condition tells you the following about the order of arrival of the puppies at the vets office: Anne Gloria Fancy The second condition tells you that Cassie arrived before Gloria, but does not tell you whether or not he arrived before Anne. So at this point, either one of the following orders is possible: 03 4141 ch03 6/22/05 10:53 AM Page 31. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ................. 32 Chapter 3 Alternative #1 Alternative #2 Cassie Anne Anne Cassie Gloria Gloria Fancy Fancy The third condition tells you that Boris arrived after Anne but before Fancy, but does not tell you whether or not he arrived before or after Gloria, or before or after Cassie. So now the following are possibilities:

#1 #2 #3 #4 #5 Cassie Cassie Anne Anne Anne Anne Anne Cassie Cassie Boris Boris Gloria Boris Gloria Cassie Gloria Boris Gloria Boris Gloria Fancy Fancy Fancy Fancy Fancy The fourth condition tells you that Fancy arrives before Daisy, providing the following alternatives: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 Cassie Cassie Anne Anne Anne Anne Anne Cassie Cassie Boris Boris Gloria Boris Gloria Cassie Gloria Boris Gloria Boris Gloria Fancy Fancy Fancy Fancy Fancy Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy No information is provided about the relative arrival time of Early or Harley. If you now provide that Cassie arrives after Boris, but keep all of the other conditions intact, the relative order must be as set forth in Alternative #5: 1. Anne 2. Boris 3. Cassie 4. Gloria 5. Fancy 6. Daisy

Mastering the Analytical Reasoning 33 Although no information is provided about when Early or Harley arrived, you know that at most the arrival order of all of the others dogs can only shift down one or two spots from the order shown previously. Finally, apply your newly diagrammed rules to the question and eliminate wrong answers, until were left with one correct solution. With this information mapped out, you can proceed to answer the following question: Question: If Cassie arrives after Boris, which one of the following must not be true? A. Anne is the second of the puppies to arrive at the vets office. B. Boris is the fifth of the puppies to arrive at the vets office. C. Cassie is the third of the puppies to arrive at the vets office. D. Daisy is the sixth of the puppies to arrive at the vets office. E. Fancy is the seventh of the puppies to arrive at the vets office. 03 4141 ch03 6/22/05 10:53 AM Page 33. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ................. 34 Chapter 3 Exam Prep Answers 1. Choice A is incorrect. Rule 1 states that Hal plays after Ralph on the roster. If we go through the list, we see that in answer choice A, Hal plays way before Ralph, so this roster is invalid. Choice B is incorrect. Rule 3 states that Corwin and Seth cant be next to each other in the roster. However, we can see that answer choice B

has them batting fourth and fifth, which violates this rule. Choice C is incorrect. Rule 5 states that Peter must be first or second in the rotation. Going through the two remaining answer choices, we see that hes fourth in answer choice C, which makes this choice an invalid roster. Choice E is incorrect. Rule 2 states that of the set Dorian, Kamal, Ralph, exactly two of those three people must be on the team. As we go through the remaining choices, we see that answer choice E only has Ralph and not Dorian or Kamal. Were left with one answer choice, D, which is the correct answer. 2. Choice A is incorrect. Anne can be anywhere from either the first, second, or third puppy to arrive at the vets office, so this choice might be true, and therefore is incorrect. Choice C is incorrect. Cassie can be the third, fourth, or fifth puppy to arrive at the vets office, so this answer might be true and therefore is incorrect. Choice D is incorrect. Daisy can be the sixth, seventh, or eighth puppy to arrive at the vets office, so this answer might be true and therefore is incorrect. Choice E is incorrect. Fancy can be the fifth, sixth, or seventh puppy to arrive at the vets office, so this answer might be true and therefore is incorrect. By process of elimination, Choice B is correct. Boris can be either the second, third, or fourth puppy to arrive at the vets office. Since he cannot be the fifth to arrive, this choice cannot be true and therefore is

the correct answer. 03 4141 ch03 6/22/05 10:53 AM Page 34
