So, can rhetorical questions serve as conclusions, or are they just premises?
Here is a classic example of how a rhetorical question might show up in an LSAT Logical Reasoning stimulus, according to SAGE AI:
The Stimulus: "The city council claims that building a new highway will reduce congestion. But how can building more roads reduce traffic when it simply encourages more people to drive? Therefore, the council's plan is fundamentally flawed."
I couldn't find the conclusion in this one. I usually ask what is supporting what, but I felt that either way I phrased it, it was logical.
Ex: why is it a fuzzy distinction? bc it is often impossible to determine...
why is it impossible to determine between... bc it rest on a fuzzy distinction.
I don't understand how D is an assumption; isn't that what the stimulus is trying to say?
I took out E because the passage said many and E said none, but the explanation given disqualified E because it went from reviewer to general public. Is my reason still valid for canceling it out?
They should add another rule to scan for no, cannot, not, or will fail. I didn't recognize them and did not negate the idea.
