Summary
The essence of tackling principle-identify questions on the LSAT involves understanding the argument's structure and matching it with a principle that aligns with the argument's reasoning.
- Principle-identify questions require identifying a principle that the argument conforms to.
- Understanding the argument involves breaking it down into its component parts and grasping its conclusion and supporting reasons.
- The example provided illustrates an argument for universities using open-source software, based on its alignment with academic values.
- The correct answer choice is one that reflects the argument's rationale, focusing on alignment with the university's mission rather than factors like software advancement or cost.
- Eliminating incorrect answers involves understanding why they do not match the argument's reasoning.
