As you stated, "usually" possibly means "sometimes" Therefore, isn't it possible logical diagram as like this? Successfully trained in speed reading< ==Some===>Increased ability concentrate Thanks

    As a matter of fact, I picked up the concept from some other LSAT prep materials stating that "usually" = "most" ; "Often" "frequent" = "Some" Am I lost or misunderstood? Plz correct me if I'm wrong.

    You are correct but by "diagram" we mean Sufficient & Necessary statements. Quantifiers are not Sufficient & Necessary statements. The statement "being successfully trained in speed-reading will usually be accompanied by an increased ability to concentrate" can be written out as follows: STSR-some-IAC IAC-some-STSR This does not change the correct answer. Nor is it usual for that matter since this quantifier statement shares nothing in common with our Sufficient & Necessary statement. Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Can you please explain this in further detail? I do not understand how A is the answer to a Could Be True EXCEPT question. I understand that "successfully trained in speed-reading" is not the same as "speed reading". So, wouldn't that mean that we cannot come to a conclusion with A? Meaning, A Could Be True?
