Summary
The essence of tackling parallel flaw questions on the LSAT involves identifying an answer choice that replicates the original argument's logical fallacy.
  • Parallel flaw questions require matching the flawed reasoning in the answer choices to that of the original argument.
  • Understanding the original argument's structure and conclusion is crucial for identifying the parallel flaw.
  • The tu quoque flaw, highlighting hypocrisy, is a common logical fallacy encountered in these questions.
  • Analyzing each answer choice methodically to match both the conclusion and the evidence with the original argument is essential.
  • The correct answer choice mirrors the original argument's flawed reasoning without introducing unrelated flaws.
