In what scenarios is Absolute Certainty used?

"Something is likely or maybe the case."
"Something definitely is or is not the case."
"A course of action should perhaps be undertaken."
"A course of action should definitely be undertaken."

The correct answer is: "Something definitely is or is not the case."

Absolute certainty is used when something definitely is or is not the case. It implies a complete lack of doubt or uncertainty. In the context of the LSAT, absolute certainty is a key concept in dealing with logic games and arguments where a statement is presented as a definite truth or falsehood. This contrasts with scenarios where something is only likely or maybe the case (Choice A), and when a course of action should perhaps be undertaken (Choice C) as these options involve varying degrees of uncertainty. Choice D, which suggests that a course of action should definitely be undertaken, is not directly related to the concept of absolute certainty as it pertains more to making decisions rather than establishing factual certainty.
