What type of flaw is this?
Dean: The mathematics department at our university has said that it should be given the sole responsibility for teaching the course Social Sciences.
Correct Answer choice B:
"purports to refute a view by showing that one possible reason for that view is insufficient"
Wording is a bit hard for me to understand. What type of flaw is this?
edit:
I got rid of C, D, E and chose A between A & B:
"presumes, without providing justification, that expertise in a subject does not enable one to teach that subject well"
I think the key deduction I should have made was that for A, the stimulus/argument does not talk about a subject being taught "well". So this should have clicked for me as a flaw that is out of scope.

I deleted the rest of the stim because it is against our Forum Rules to post LSAT question verbatim on the Forum

Very worth, especially for the CLIR. While it doesnt work out on every situation, it definitely gets you open to thinking in different strategies which can help out when I'm frozen/paralyzed while understanding a question stem.
Your explanation makes sense. Thank you for your insight!
