I'm having trouble diagramming E
I put:
P:
Not LSCA - > LPS
Not LPS - > LSCA
P: LPS
______________
C: Not LSCA
I see that regardless of if I diagrammed it correctly that answer choice A has the same diagram as the stimulus - but I just want to make sure!

Answer choice (E) states, "People who have never lost something that they cannot afford to lose will be lax about keeping their property secure. Jon is lax about keeping property secure when it is something he can afford to lose, so Jon must never have lost anything."
Let's diagram.
"People who have never lost something that they cannot afford to lose will be lax about keeping their property secure."
PR1: not LSCA ==> LKPS
not LKPS ==> LSCA
"Jon is lax about keeping property secure when it is something he can afford to lose."
P: LKPSwhenSAL
NOTE: this is a different variable than "being lax about keeping property secure."
"So Jon must never have lost anything."
C: not LSCA
The issue here is that the premise introduces a completely new variable.
Hope that was helpful! Please let us know if you have any more questions.

@Naz @Mehran so not answer choice C since the stiumulus is
not Sc ==> not AEC and premise is AEC different than the question's structure?
Thank you.
