LSAT Practice Test

Which comparison accurately describes the relationship between Sara and Trang based on the given information?

1. Competing scenarios

2. Dependent events

3. Interchangeable outcomes

4. Mutual exclusivity

The correct answer is: Dependent events

Based on the information given in the question stem, we know that Sara going to the concert and Trang going to the soccer game are dependent events. This means that the outcome of one event influences or affects the outcome of the other event. In this case, Sara going to the concert makes it impossible for Trang to also go to the concert, so she must go to the only other option mentioned, the soccer game. Therefore, the relationship between Sara and Trang is accurately described as dependent events in this scenario. The other choices are not applicable to the relationship between Sara and Trang based on the given information: - Competing scenarios suggest a situation where only one of the two events can occur, but this doesn't fit the scenario described. - Interchangeable outcomes imply that the outcomes can be swapped or exchanged freely, which is not the case here. - Mutual exclusivity would mean that the events cannot occur simultaneously, which is not entirely accurate since both events can happen, but Sara and Trang cannot both choose the same event.
