Summary
The content provides an in-depth analysis of how to approach flaw questions on the LSAT, specifically focusing on identifying errors in arguments by understanding their conclusions and evidence.
  • Flaw questions require identifying the vulnerability in an argument's logic.
  • Understanding the argument involves discerning its conclusion and the evidence supporting it.
  • A common flaw in LSAT arguments is a sampling error, where conclusions are drawn without accounting for all variables.
  • The correct approach involves considering other possible factors that could influence the observed outcomes.
  • The process of elimination is used to identify the correct answer choice that addresses the argument's overlooked possibility.
