I got tripped up on the word 'many.' I was thinking it was synonymous for most. I still got the answer right, but am still wondering, are there other words for 'most'? Thank you

    Hi @BHR, Thanks for the question! “Many” on the LSAT should be thought of as “some.” Because “most” means strictly over half. Whereas “many” isn’t necessarily that. For example, you could buy “many” shares of $GME. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve bought “most” (51%+) of them. 1,000 shares would be “many” shares, but certainly not “most.” As for other words, things like “the majority” or “over half.” Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
