Summary
The content provides a detailed walkthrough of solving a local question on the LSAT that involves adding a condition and determining what must be true.
  • The question introduces a condition where the third digit cannot be a 0, necessitating the examination of two possible scenarios.
  • In each scenario, a different non-zero digit is assigned to the third position, leading to distinct outcomes for the sequence.
  • The solution involves creating sketches for each scenario, filling in digits based on the given conditions, and identifying the digit that must occupy the fourth position.
  • The correct answer is identified by eliminating options that do not necessarily have to be true across both scenarios, pinpointing the fourth digit as 0 as the must-be-true condition.
  • The explanation also covers why the other answer choices are incorrect, reinforcing the logic behind the correct answer.
