Summary
The content delves into solving a sufficient assumption question on the LSAT, focusing on a philosophical argument about moral actions and their impact on aggregate well-being.
- Identifying the conclusion is crucial for solving sufficient assumption questions, especially when dealing with complex philosophical statements.
- The argument posits that actions expected to neither harm nor benefit people (neutral actions) are morally right, based on premises about actions that increase or decrease well-being being morally right or wrong, respectively.
- Formal logic and contrapositive reasoning are essential tools for dissecting the argument and identifying the correct answer.
- Answer choice C, stating that any action not morally wrong is morally right, completes the logical chain needed to prove the conclusion.
- Other answer choices are dismissed either because they restate known information or fail to directly support the conclusion.
