summary
the essence of tackling sufficient assumption questions on the lsat involves identifying a piece of evidence that, when combined with existing evidence, conclusively supports the argument's conclusion.
- sufficient assumption questions require finding evidence that guarantees the conclusion's validity.
- understanding the conclusion and existing evidence is crucial for identifying the gap that needs bridging.
- formal logic shorthand can simplify the process of connecting evidence to the conclusion.
- the correct answer often introduces a new term or concept that bridges the gap between evidence and conclusion.
- analyzing wrong answer choices helps understand why they fail to conclusively support the conclusion.
