Summary
The content provides an in-depth analysis of how to approach and solve a flaw question on the LSAT, using a hypothetical scenario involving a vacuum cleaner sales pitch to illustrate the process.
  • Flaw questions require identifying why an argument is flawed by breaking it down into its component parts.
  • The example used involves comparing two vacuum cleaners, the Super XL and an older model, based on their cleaning performance.
  • The flaw identified is an unfair comparison, where the Super XL is tested in a second pass, potentially skewing the results in its favor.
  • The correct answer choice (E) highlights the argument's failure to consider if the Super XL would perform similarly if used first, emphasizing the importance of a fair comparison.
