the essence of tackling sufficient assumption questions on the lsat is to identify an answer choice that, when combined with the given evidence, conclusively supports the argument's conclusion.
- sufficient assumption questions require finding an answer that makes the conclusion undeniably true.
- the argument's conclusion is identified by the keyword 'thus', indicating what needs to be proven.
- evidence provided must be analyzed in conjunction with the answer choices to determine which one guarantees the conclusion.
