preptest 73, logical reasoning 2, question 16
summary
the essence of tackling inference questions on the lsat involves constructing a logical chain from the given information to prove an answer choice true.
- inference questions demand proof of an answer choice using the provided stimulus, requiring a thorough understanding of the information presented.
- a causal chain is identified linking exercise, calmness of mind, reduced stress, and potentially lowered blood pressure, though not in a strictly formal sense.
- the correct answer choice (e) is supported by the causal chain, demonstrating that engaging in exercise can lead to reduced stress levels for at least some people.
- incorrect answer choices often misinterpret the causal direction or overstate the universality of the effect.
- the process emphasizes the importance of closely analyzing the stimulus to identify logical relationships and potential inferences.
