Summary
The essence of tackling parallel flaw questions on the LSAT involves identifying an answer choice that mirrors the original argument's structure, evidence, and flaw.
- Parallel flaw questions require matching the conclusion and evidence type of the original argument, ensuring they share the same logical flaw.
- The process begins with dissecting the original argument into its conclusion and evidence, identifying the flaw in reasoning.
- A correct parallel argument must have corresponding parts to the original, including similar types of evidence, conclusion, and the same misuse of evidence.
- Answer choices are evaluated based on their structural similarity to the original argument, dismissing those that fail to replicate the specific flaw.
- The chosen answer must flawlessly parallel the original argument's reasoning error, as demonstrated in the provided example.
