Quantifier Order

Hello! Just to clarify, the quantifiers do not have to match the order in which they appear in the parallel argument? It seems that this stimulus has the skeleton presentation of "Most"-"Unreasonable"-"Some." The correct answer seems to present in the order of "Some"-"Unreasonable"-"Most." I appreciate the guidance.

@Dulci, thank you for your question.

The LSAT tests whether a conclusion can be properly drawn from facts. So we have to first distinguish facts from conclusion. It does not matter what order the facts are in, they are all just in a big "bucket" of facts. Then, we just ask if this bucket of facts logically leads to the conclusion, or if the conclusion is not logically based on the facts, or if the conclusion seems to refer to things not in the "bucket" of facts.

So, as long as you have separated the conclusion from the facts, it does not matter what order things are in within those divisions.

Hope that helps and happy studying,
Nate, LSATMax Instructor
