LS is right.  My explanation is kind of misleading.

question 4.

what about just voting against E and I? vote for DFGHJ?

-- by 会员 baileys2010 (2011/1/14 15:52:47)

When E is out, I and J are in.

For this question, when I is out, J is out, then E is in, then G is out.  So you have at least 3 out: I, J, G.

and when G is out, at least one of the H or D is out, coz:

She votes for the gun control bill if she votes for both the health care bill and the defense bill.

so I think shoule be C for Q4
at least I, J, G, H or D

about the 5th question.

1.if she votes for immigration law, means she is voting  against J.

2.Since voting for G means voting against E.

1+2 means, she votes against both E and J. which against she has to vote for E or J or both.

the correct answer is E.
she votes for G means against E. since either E or J. means she has to vote for J means she has to vote against I.

You misunderstood the following condition:
Unless she votes against the judicial activism bill, she will vote for the immigration bill.

The above statement equals "if J, then I; if NOT I, then NOT J"

Think about it.  It is very important you become familiar with the UNLESS/WITHOUT clauses in logic games.

Choice E in question (1) is against the following restriction:
She votes for the gun control bill if she votes for both the health care bill and the defense bill.

Gun control bill has to be in the against list if both health care bill and defense bill are therein.
