Logical reasoning PrepTest 155 · Section 4 · Question 25

Incorrect. This answer choice states that the single option won't meet either need. So it's wrong for two reasons (one vs. two options; neither need met).

Incorrect. There are way too many conditions in this answer for it to parallel the stimulus. This answer is a time sink—the LSAT is trying to get you to spend too much time mapping it out and understanding it instead of just ruling it out because it has too much going on.

Incorrect. Finch traveling does have two requirements, but they're set up as either/or, instead of both required. That throws this answer choice off.

Correct. Argument or Facts:
Argument

Valid or Flawed:
Flawed

Question Type:
Parallel Reasoning

Stimulus Summary:
The shopkeeper's shop needs two things, and the two potential sites for the new center each lack one of those things, so the shopkeeper won't relocate to the new site.

Answer Anticipation:
The correct answer will set up two requirements, state that two options each miss one of the requirements, and conclude that the new course of action won't be taken.

Answer Explanation:
The concert selling out has two requirements (small venue and downtown area). The two options for locations each lack one of the requirements, so the concert won't sell out. That matches the initial argument.

Key Takeaway:
Identify key logical constructs in Parallel Reasoning question when you can. Here, the two requirements and two options were an easy way to rule out answers that didn't align with them!

Incorrect. While this answer choice is close, the two requirements are set as being mutually exclusive to each other (there can't be both lamps and undisturbed nature). That's an additional relationship that isn't in the stimulus, so this answer is wrong.
