标题: LSAT-26-2-7

7. Computers perform actions that are closer to thinking than anything non-human animals do. Nut computers do not have volitional powers, although some non-human animals do.

Which of the following is most strongly supported by the information above?

(A) Having volitional powers need not involve thinking.

(B) Things that are not animals do not have volitional powers.

(D) It is necessary to have volitional powers in order to think.（A)

(E) Computer will never be able to think as human beings do.

不理解为什么答案是A. argument第一句, computer比动物思想更接近于人. 第二句, Computer没有V power, 虽然有些动物有.

如何可以推出有V power不需要思考啊?

It sounds like, if there must be some necessary connection bewteen thinking and volitional power, then computer cannot transcend non-human animals in performing a thinking-like action since they simply have no volitinal power, thus being void of thinking function.

my thread of reasoning is:

(at least some) non-human animals are not capable of "thinking" ( nor even close to "thinking"), but some animals have V powers. so it is safe to say that Having volitional powers need not involve thinking

Thanks Chelsea. I think there is a small gap in the 1st sentence.

Computers perform actions that are closer to thinking than anything non-human animals do.

It seems we need to interpret that some of non-human animals are not capable of "thinking". Can I say this is same logic as a math fomula x < 20, so it is possible for x=0.

I am sorry i dont' quite understand your point

if i had to put it into a formula, it would be something like non-human animals'action< computers'<thinking

but i dont' think it is a good idea to logicalize the sentense this way.... simply take it as a matter of comprehension.

Personally, I feel sth wrong with this question. At least it is not an authentic LSAT question.

7.     Computers perform actions that are closer to thinking than anything non-h ...

C can do B better than all a do B

C ---> ~VP

Some animals ---> VP

VP is not sufficient for doing B
