Summary
The content provides an in-depth analysis of how to approach and solve a 'weaken the argument' question on the LSAT, focusing on identifying and attacking the argument's assumptions.
- Understanding the argument's conclusion and evidence is crucial for identifying its assumptions.
- The argument's assumptions may include the adequacy of the sample size, absence of bias in sample selection, and representativeness of the sample.
- To weaken an argument, one must find evidence that contradicts these assumptions.
- The correct answer choice will directly challenge one of the argument's unspoken assumptions, thereby undermining its conclusion.
- Irrelevant comparisons or information that strengthens the argument are not suitable for weakening the argument.
