Summary
The content provides an in-depth analysis of how to approach evaluate questions on the LSAT, focusing on identifying assumptions within an argument by dissecting its components.
  • Evaluate questions are a mix between strengthen and weaken questions, aiming to find information that could impact the argument's validity.
  • To analyze an argument, it's crucial to break it down into its component parts, including the conclusion and the evidence provided.
  • The example argument discusses the recommendation of a new drug in addition to an existing one for patients with immune system disorders at risk of osteoporosis.
  • The argument assumes no negative factors against taking the new drug alongside the old one, and the task is to identify assumptions by evaluating answer choices.
  • Answer choice E, asking about the new drug's efficacy when used with other drugs, is highlighted as the correct choice because it directly impacts the argument's validity.
