    A: All dogs bark.

    B: All cats scratch.

    These two things have nothing to do with each other. Are they not compatible? The fact that 'all dogs bark' exerts no logical pressure on the fact that 'all cats scratch.' One is not required for the other, and both can be true at the same time. They are, in fact, compatible.

    I am posting the video explanation that you're referring to (so that everyone can comment :smile: ): https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-38-section-4-question-25/

    As for your question, if one situation has nothing to do with another situation, they are compatible. I think the dictionary definition of "compatible" is "(of two things) able to exist together without conflict." If two things can exist or occur together without any conflict, they are compatible.

    The stimulus is talking about European music and (A) is talking about African music. They have nothing to do with each other. The two situations can coexist without any conflict. (A) COULD be true because we don't know anything about African music from the stimulus.
