Summary
The essence of tackling sufficient assumption questions on the LSAT involves identifying a piece of evidence that, when combined with the existing premises, conclusively supports the argument's conclusion.
- Sufficient assumption questions require finding evidence that makes the conclusion undeniably true.
- The first step is to delineate the argument's conclusion and the evidence provided.
- Identifying the gap between the conclusion and the evidence is crucial for finding the correct answer.
- The correct answer closes the loophole between the annual need for different vaccines and the possibility of recurring virus strains.
- Answer choice D effectively closes this gap by ensuring a new strain is deemed most prevalent each year, necessitating a different vaccine annually.
