Can anybody tell me what this answer choice is exactly saying? I just want to know what it's trying to say because I don't think I'm completely understanding it.
It was a flaw in reasoning question (Preptest December 2015, Section 2, LR, Question 18.)
Answer Choice E from this particular question says "makes use of an assumption that one would accept only if one has already accepted the truth of the conclusion."
This may be a dumb question, but I really can't figure out what this answer choice is exactly saying... can someone explain this for me? Thanks so much!

Like Raptor said, it is circular reasoning. If you see something similar to this wording on the actual test - don't think about it too much. The wording is confusing but the choice itself sounds bit 'circular', which should hint at that concept to you.
@saralim54872 thanks so much!
E) refers to circular reasoning essentially restating the premise as a conclusion to justify an argument. Example: Im telling the truth because I'm not lying. 9/10 times this is wrong on a LSAT LR, I've seen this happen once. It was a question about a detective in one the 40s PT.
