Summary
The essence of tackling sufficient assumption questions on the LSAT is to identify an answer choice that, when combined with the given evidence, conclusively supports the argument's conclusion.
- Sufficient assumption questions require finding an answer that makes the conclusion undeniably true.
- The argument's conclusion is identified by the keyword 'thus', indicating what needs to be proven.
- Evidence provided must be analyzed in conjunction with the answer choices to determine which one guarantees the conclusion.
- The correct answer choice directly addresses the evidence and ensures the conclusion follows logically.
- Other answer choices are eliminated based on their inability to make the conclusion absolutely true.
