Summary
The content provides an in-depth analysis of a sufficient assumption question on the LSAT, focusing on identifying the conclusion, evaluating the evidence, and selecting the correct answer that closes all potential loopholes.
- Identifying the conclusion is the first step in addressing a sufficient assumption question.
- The evidence presented must be thoroughly analyzed to understand the argument's basis concerning the relationship between two groups of aluminum cans, M and L.
- A correct answer choice adds new information that, when combined with the existing evidence, conclusively proves the argument.
- The process of elimination is used to identify the answer that effectively closes any gaps in the argument, with a focus on the recycling process and the efficiency of aluminum recovery.
- Answer choice C, stating that all aluminum in a can is recovered when recycled, is identified as the correct answer because it ensures M contains twice as many cans as L by closing the potential loophole regarding the recycling process.
