Question #3771

Inclusive 'or'?

C was ruled out because it gives the option of both according to the LSATMax justification; but logically, the 'or' in B is inclusive, implying the option of both. How should we approach this? Seemingly, the "choose between" language of the stimulus is exclusive and thus at odds with the inclusivity of both B and C. Is there another reason to rule out C?

    Hi, I disagree that the or in B is inclusive. While or is often ambiguous, here it strains belief that one would buy curtains AND make blinds. These seem pretty mutually exclusive to me. We can also easily rule out C since the initial argument presented a clear choice, and C explicitly tells us that we could do both.
