Principle: Meetings should be kept short, addressing only those issues relevant to a majority of those attending. A person should not be required to attend a meeting if none of the issues to be addressed at the meeting are relevant to that person.
Application: Terry should not be required to attend today’s two o’clock meeting.
Which one of the following, if true, most justifies the stated application of the principle?
(A) The only issues on which Terry could make a presentation at the meeting are issues irrelevant to at least a majority of those who could attend.
(B) If Terry makes a presentation at the meeting, the meeting will not be kept short.
(C) No issue relevant to Terry could be relevant to a majority of those attending the meeting.
(D) If Terry attends the meeting a different set of issues will be relevant to a majority of those attending than if Terry does not attend.
(E) The majority of the issues to be addressed at the meeting are not relevant to Terry.

EXPLANATION FROM Fox LSAT
The principle is threefold: 1) Keep meetings short. 2) Meetings should address only issues that are relevant to a majority of people at the meeting. Not relevant to a majority of people at the meeting —> Do not address in meeting. 3) A person should not be required to attend a meeting if none of the issues to be addressed at the meeting are relevant to that person. No issues relevant to person X —> Person X can’t be required to attend.
The application of the principle is that Terry shouldn’t be required to attend. How do we prove this? Well, there’s really only one way. If there are no issues on the agenda that are relevant to Terry, then Terry can’t be forced to attend. Let’s see if we can find that in the answer choices.
A) There are no premises that care about who does the presenting, so this is out.
B) Again, it’s not about who does the presenting.
C) If no issue relevant to Terry could be relevant to a majority of those attending the meeting, then based on the second part of the principle no issue relevant to Terry can be addressed at the meeting. If no issue relevant to Terry can be addressed at the meeting, then we can’t force Terry to attend the meeting. That’s what we were looking for, so this is a strong contender.
D) Why would it matter if Terry changes the majorities at the meeting? I don’t see how this premise helps prove that Terry cannot be forced to attend the meeting.
E) This is tricky. The majority of the issues could be irrelevant to Terry and we can still force him to attend, because all we need is one issue relevant to Terry in order to avoid the third part of the principle.
Our answer is C.

A. The application makes no mention of Terry making a presentation. Irrelevant.
B. Once again, there is no mention of Terry making a presentation in the application. Irrelevant.
C. Correct. Any issue that is not relevant will not be discussed at the meeting. All of the issues that are relevant to Terry are not relevant to the majority, therefore Terry should not be required to attend the meeting.
D. This states that if Terry is present at the meeting then the majority of the topics will be relevant to him, in which case he should be at the meeting.
E. The principle stated that a person should only not be required to attend a meeting if NONE of the issues at the meeting are relevant to that person, not "most"
