Summary
The content provides an in-depth analysis of how to approach and solve a weakened question on the LSAT, focusing on identifying and attacking the assumptions underlying an argument.
- Understanding the structure of an argument is crucial, including its conclusion and evidence.
- Identifying assumptions is key to attacking the argument effectively.
- Surveys as evidence have common assumptions, such as representativeness and absence of bias.
- The correct answer to a weakened question will directly challenge one of these assumptions.
- Analyzing each answer choice methodically is essential to find the one that best weakens the argument.
