summary
the essence of tackling conclusion questions on the lsat involves identifying the argument's main conclusion, which is often cleverly embedded within the question's structure and answer choices.
- conclusion questions require you to pinpoint the argument's conclusion, which may not always be presented at the end of the argument.
- the argument's setup and evidence are distinct from the conclusion, serving to establish context and support the argument, respectively.
- identifying the conclusion involves differentiating it from the setup information and evidence, and carefully analyzing the answer choices for direct quotes or rephrasings of the conclusion.
- the correct conclusion may be presented in a manner that requires careful comparison and analysis of the language used, including the identification of conditional statements that alter the meaning.
