summary
understanding how to tackle conclusion questions on the lsat involves identifying the argument's main conclusion, which may require dissecting the argument into its component parts and understanding the relationship between them.
- conclusion questions ask for the overall conclusion of an argument, requiring identification and understanding of the argument's structure.
- the conclusion might be located in the middle of the argument, necessitating analysis of preceding and succeeding statements to fully grasp its context.
- correct answers to conclusion questions can be direct quotations or plausible rephrasings of the argument's conclusion.
- identifying the conclusion involves distinguishing it from the argument's evidence and other components, often through comparison and elimination of answer choices.
- the process includes eliminating answer choices that represent only a part of the conclusion, misinterpret the argument, or introduce unrelated concepts.
