Weakening your opponent's argument is not the same as strengthening your argument.
The LSAC can suck my ass and balls for this question. Probably the most difficult main point question I have ever encountered in 6 months of studying.
The fact that the LSAT is taken on a computer and not on paper is so brutal. I would give anything to be able to write my 2 word low res summary in the margins. It would make everything so much easier.
I thought the reasoning was part v whole, since income is an aspect of wealth, just as acceleration is an aspect of speed.
Major blot, completely stopped reading the last part of the last sentence. Easily the most important part of the whole stim.
Where is the lesson of sufficient vs necessary conditions?
How can you determine whether something is conditional vs causational. I am sort of getting it but not sure.
Took too long to realize that all the premises were the same.
#feedback need a video to understand this here. Too abstract. Need JY
So, the less assumptions you have to make about a stimulus to make it a "slam dunk", the stronger the argument in the stimulus is?
I thought one of the answers was going to be that "the argument attacks the person making a claim rather than the claim itself". Got it right but took a second.
This is definitely a question which highlights the importance of taking the time to understand both the stim. If you take the time to understand the stim fully and the relationships between these concepts, an answer choice like A makes no sense.
What an insane question this is.
So funny that the correct answer just says that it's not the other way around.
I got it right but wow A felt like a bait answer.
Thought for sure I was wrong.
B is also the only answer choice that has anything to do with the stimulus. All of the other ones bring in rules that are completely irrelevant to the stim.
So is it a good rule of thumb to say that the assumption questions can be thought of as what, if true, most strongly supports/weakens the argument?
Almost got my ass, very cheeky. Got it at the last moment.
47 seconds under target, beat that Gordy!
The tip that the main point is what the author thinks is prob the best tech I have ever adopted.
