It further addresses “and” conditionals by requiring verification of multiple conditions together, then derives the contrapositive by negating the needed facts (e.g., not wide or not tall).",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/lsat-conditional-logic-compound-conditionals-and-contrapositives/178917/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/lsat-conditional-logic-compound-conditionals-and-contrapositives/178917.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Maya Linwood","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-08","2026-09-02",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":24},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"How does an “or” compound affect an LSAT conditional statement?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"It allows the antecedent to be treated as two distinct triggers, where either trigger individually implies the same consequence.

What can we infer? If I don’t giggle, that means I was neither amused nor tickled. |\n| “If the picture is 4 inches wide and 3 inches tall, then it\u003Cbr>will fit in the frame.” |\n| Here’s another compound conditional statement—this one involves the term “and” instead of “or.” In this case, we need to know two different things before we can guarantee that the picture will fit in the frame—we need to know that the picture is 4 inches wide and that it is 3 inches tall. What is the contrapositive? What would we know if the picture didn’t fit in the frame? That it wasn’t 4 inches wide or it wasn’t three inches tall.\u003Cbr>5.
