Summary
The essence of tackling conclusion questions on the LSAT involves identifying the argument's main assertion, which the rest of the argument aims to support.
  • Conclusion questions require finding the argument's main point.
  • The conclusion is typically supported by evidence and may include counter evidence to provide a balanced view.
  • Identifying the conclusion involves discerning it from pieces of evidence, counter evidence, and unrelated statements.
  • The correct conclusion is often directly quoted or closely paraphrased in the answer choices.
  • Incorrect answers may include pieces of evidence, counter evidence, or statements not made by the author.
