summary
the essence of tackling sufficient assumption questions on the lsat involves identifying a piece of evidence that fills all gaps in the argument, thereby guaranteeing the conclusion's truth.
- sufficient assumption questions require a new piece of evidence that ensures the argument's conclusion is indisputably true.
- identifying the conclusion is the first step, followed by analyzing the provided evidence and identifying any logical gaps.
- formal logic can be instrumental in bridging the gap between the evidence and the conclusion.
- the correct answer must not only address all gaps but also align perfectly with the conclusion to be considered valid.
- other answer choices, even if partially helpful, are incorrect if they do not guarantee the conclusion's truth.
