Some vs Many vs Several Application

[DlarehAtsok]

In the Formal Logic chapter, it is said that "some" could be introduced through a variety of words including many or several etc. I was wondering whether this equivalence applies only to Formal Logic or to every part of the LR sections. Let me take an hypothetical example: Say there is a "Must Be True" question which states that "some cars are red". Is the answer choice paraphrasing "Many (several) cars are red" true?

Hi D,

The short answer to your question is no, those wouldn't be correct answers. "Some" can equal just one, thus it wouldn't be equivalent to "many" or even "several." This blog post I wrote might help clarify how that works: LSAT Quantity Terminology: Some, Few, Several, and Many.

Please let me know if that helps. Thanks!
