Summary
The content focuses on dissecting and understanding a flaw question within the LSAT exam, specifically through the analysis of an argument presented in an advertisement for Fabric-Soft fabric softener.
- Identifying the flaw in an argument requires breaking it down into its conclusion and evidence.
- The argument's conclusion is that Fabric-Soft is the most effective fabric softener available, based on a survey comparing its use to no softener at all.
- The critical flaw in the argument is the failure to compare Fabric-Soft to other fabric softeners, making the conclusion about its superiority over all others unfounded.
- The correct answer choice (E) highlights the argument's oversight in not considering comparisons with fabric softeners other than Fabric-Soft.
