 \n1.G,L  \n2.G,N  \n3.L,N  \n4.L,P  \n5.P,S  \n## Explanation for Question 1\n\nThis question concerns a committee's decision about which five of eight areas ofexpenditure to reduce.The question requires you to suppose that M and R areamong the areas that are to be reduced,and then to determine which pair ofareas could not also be among the five areas that are reduced.  \nThe fourth condition given in the passage on which this question is based  \nrequires that exactly two of M,R,and L are reduced.Since the question asks us tosuppose that both M and R are reduced,we know that L must not be reduced:  \n·Reduced:M,R  \n● Not reduced:L  \nThe second condition requires that if N is reduced,neither R nor S is reduced.SoN and R cannot both be reduced.Here,since R is reduced,we know that N cannotbe.Thus,adding this to what we've determined so far,we know that Land N are apair of areas that cannot both be reduced if both M and R are reduced:  \n·Reduced:M,R  \n·Not reduced:L,N  \nAnswer choice(C)is therefore the correct answer,and you are done.  \nWhen you are taking the test,if you have determined the correct answer,there isno need to rule out the other answer choices.However,for our purposes in thissection,it might be instructive to go over the incorrect answer choices.For thisquestion,each of the incorrect answer choices can be ruled out by finding apossible outcome in which at least one of the two areas listed in that answerchoice are reduced.Consider answer choice(A),which lists the pair G and L.Wealready know that for this question Lmust be one of the areas that is notreduced,so all we need to consider is whether G can be one of the areas that isreduced.Here's one such possible outcome:  \n·Reduced:M,R,G,S,W  \nIf areas M,R,G,S,and W are reduced,then the supposition for the question holdsand all of the conditions in the passage are met:  \n·M and R are both reduced,as supposed for this question.  \n·Both G and S are reduced,and W is also reduced,so the first condition issatisfied.  \n·N is not reduced,so the second condition is not relevant.  \n·P is not reduced,so the third condition is not relevant.  \n·Exactly two of L,M,and R are reduced,so the fourth condition is satisfied.  \nThus,since G could be reduced without violating the conditions,answer choice(A)can be ruled out.Furthermore,since G appears in the pair listed in answerchoice(B),we can also see that(B)is incorrect.  \nNow let's consider answer choice(D),which lists the pair L and P.We alreadyknow that for this question Lmust be one of the areas that is not reduced,so allwe need to consideris ","cbCaibUm2unFW6mB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibUm2unFW6mB","pdf",3180237,21,"English","# Directions\n# Passage for Question 1\n## Question 1\n## Explanation for Question 1\n# Passage for Questions 2 and 3\n## Question 2","[{\"question\":\"What do the directions for LSAT Analytical Reasoning require you to do?\",\"answer\":\"Each question is based on a scenario with conditions.
