summary
the essence of tackling inference questions on the lsat involves deducing a logical conclusion from a given set of facts, specifically through the application of formal logic to linked conditional statements.
- inference questions require proving an answer true based on provided facts.
- the process involves analyzing linked 'if-then' statements to deduce a logical outcome.
- formal logic can be used to simplify and connect these statements, leading to a clear conclusion.
- identifying the correct answer choice involves dismissing converses and unrelated options, focusing on the logical sequence derived from the statements.
- the correct answer directly links an increase in bean prices to a decrease in profitability, dismissing other conversely framed or unrelated options.
