Summary
The essence of tackling method of reasoning questions on the LSAT involves understanding the argument's structure, identifying its conclusion and evidence, and evaluating the reasoning technique employed.
- Method of reasoning questions require a description of how an argument is constructed and the technique used to achieve its conclusion.
- Identifying the argument's conclusion and evidence is crucial; the conclusion is often found in the middle of the argument.
- The argument discussed uses analogy as its method of reasoning, comparing Freudian psychotherapy's effectiveness to a car repair chain's efficiency based on time and effort involved.
- Answer choices on the LSAT may use clever phrasing, necessitating a careful and open approach to selecting the correct option.
- The correct answer choice for the discussed question is one that recognizes the use of an analogous argument to challenge the original claim.
