preptest 73, logical reasoning 1, question 4
summary
understanding and applying principles to lsat questions, particularly principle application questions, involves recognizing the given rule, translating it into formal logic, and matching it with the correct answer choice.
- principle application questions require identifying a principle and applying it to find a matching answer choice.
- the process includes translating the principle into formal logic and its contra-positive to simplify comparison.
- correct answers match the formal logic rule derived from the principle stated in the question.
- elimination of incorrect answers is based on their failure to meet the established rule or principle.
- the example provided illustrates the application of these strategies to identify the correct answer among multiple choices.
