preptest 73, logical reasoning 2, question 10
summary
the content provides an in-depth analysis of how to approach and solve a flaw question on the lsat, using a hypothetical scenario involving a vacuum cleaner sales pitch to illustrate the process.
- flaw questions require identifying why an argument is flawed by breaking it down into its component parts.
- the example used involves comparing two vacuum cleaners, the super xl and an older model, based on their cleaning performance.
- the flaw identified is an unfair comparison, where the super xl is tested in a second pass, potentially skewing the results in its favor.
- the correct answer choice (e) highlights the argument's failure to consider if the super xl would perform similarly if used first, emphasizing the importance of a fair comparison.
