Summary
The essence of the content revolves around dissecting and responding to a weakened question on the LSAT exam, focusing on an argument related to the morality of meat consumption.
- Identifying the argument's conclusion and supporting evidence is crucial before attacking its assumptions.
- The argument assumes a cost-benefit analysis and makes a prediction about the future, both of which are vulnerable points for critique.
- The correct answer choice undermines one of the argument's major assumptions by presenting an alternative that doesn't involve the trade-off between meat and grain.
- Other answer choices are dismissed for their irrelevance to the moral argument or for supporting, rather than weakening, the argument.
- The process of elimination and critical analysis of each answer choice's relevance to the argument's assumptions is key to finding the correct answer.
