Summary
The essence of tackling sufficient assumption questions on the LSAT involves identifying a piece of evidence that, when combined with existing evidence, conclusively supports the argument's conclusion.
  • Sufficient assumption questions require finding evidence that guarantees the conclusion's validity.
  • Understanding the conclusion and existing evidence is crucial for identifying the gap that needs bridging.
  • Formal logic shorthand can simplify the process of connecting evidence to the conclusion.
  • The correct answer often introduces a new term or concept that bridges the gap between evidence and conclusion.
  • Analyzing wrong answer choices helps understand why they fail to conclusively support the conclusion.
