LSAT Practice Test

Expressing that "A is exactly two positions before B" is scribed as:

1. A/B_B/A

2. B/A_A/B

3. A_B/A

4. A_B

The correct answer is: A_B/A

When we want to express that "A is exactly two positions before B," we use the underscore symbol to represent the positions. In this case, A should be before B, and there should be exactly two positions between them. Option A represents A/B_B/A, which does not follow the requirement of A being before B by two positions. Option B shows B/A_A/B, which again does not accurately represent A being two positions before B. Option D displays A_B, which does not indicate the exact position of A and B in relation to each other. Therefore, option C, A_B/A, correctly represents that A is exactly two positions before B as required.
