Week 9 Synthesis: Inference Family + Dialogues (light)
Week 9 Synthesis (Light): Inference Family + Dialogues
A lighter synthesis closing the Thanksgiving week: contrasting Must Be True, Most Strongly Supported, and Must Be False against each other, plus the two dialogue-based types from earlier this week.
Decision Matrix
| Type | Standard |
|---|---|
| Must Be True | Logically guaranteed by the stimulus, no exceptions |
| Most Strongly Supported | Best-supported among the five, not necessarily airtight |
| Must Be False | Directly contradicts the stated facts |
| Point at Issue | Both speakers address it, with opposite positions |
| Point of Agreement | Both speakers affirm the same claim |
Mixed Drill (Light)
One drill-tier LR section, untimed this week given the lighter load, mixing Inference-family and dialogue stimuli.
Practice items on this page are curriculum-authored in LSAT style; they are not official LSAC questions. Real drilling happens on LawHub — see the assignment below.
Q1. Which of these has the strictest correctness standard?
Correct answer: B. Must Be True demands logical certainty; the others allow degrees of support or a comparative/functional standard.
Week 10 returns to full pace: Principle II (apply the rule), then Parallel Reasoning — matching argument structure across completely different topics.
