june 2007, logical reasoning 2, question 24
summary
the content focuses on how to approach and solve strengthen questions on the lsat, specifically those asking to justify an argument by identifying and supporting its assumptions.
- strengthen questions require connecting the evidence to the conclusion more tightly, essentially supporting the argument's assumptions.
- understanding the argument involves breaking it down into its conclusion and evidence, identifying the gap between them.
- the example provided illustrates a common scenario in strengthen questions where the argument has a significant gap that needs bridging.
- the correct answer choice (e) is identified by eliminating other options that fail to connect the evidence and conclusion effectively.
- answer choice e justifies the argument by addressing the gap directly, stating that the whole (institutions) does not determine the properties of its components (people).
