PrepTest 73, Logical Reasoning 1, Question 10
Summary
The essence of tackling sufficient assumption questions on the LSAT involves identifying a piece of evidence that fills all gaps in the argument, thereby guaranteeing the conclusion's truth.
- Sufficient assumption questions require a new piece of evidence that ensures the argument's conclusion is indisputably true.
- Identifying the conclusion is the first step, followed by analyzing the provided evidence and identifying any logical gaps.
- Formal logic can be instrumental in bridging the gap between the evidence and the conclusion.
- The correct answer must not only address all gaps but also align perfectly with the conclusion to be considered valid.
- Other answer choices, even if partially helpful, are incorrect if they do not guarantee the conclusion's truth.
