This is a question where you just have to good grasp of what the flaw is before going to the questions. The LSAT writers are very good at placing trap answers that are descriptively accurate(or seemingly accurate) about what the argument does, but …

Good discussion. That is true it, E can't be a sufficient assumption without addressing all the gaps of the argument. It's a good trap answer that appears to address one problem but actually doesn't. Cheers.

@DumbHollywoodActor That's some good input but if you think about it the stimulus allows for there to be minor faults that don't produce earthquakes at all. If that is the case, then we would have the same problem for the conclusion that we would i…

You make a really good point. Nothing states that minor faults have to produce earthquakes so the minor faults least likely to be hit by one would be the ones that don't produce earthquakes because they would always have a 0% chance rather than th…

So there were two studies cited in the stimulus; one that concluded that lowering capital gains tax would increase the deficit, and another that concluded the opposite. The senator then goes on to conclude that plan to reduce that capital gains tax…

The phrase 'no headache pill stops pain more quickly' leaves open the option of another pill being equally good as Danaxil, so that is why B is wrong. We can't conclude Danaxil will be better, just that Danaxil will be at least as good as any other…

D is describing a different flaw, which is why it is wrong. The argument of the stimulus is assuming there is only one cause for the increased encephalitis threat and hence ignoring that there may be other factors that can cause a rise in encephali…

I think it's better to leave the negation at "It’s not the case that psychotherapy should never be provided in a context in which there is any chance that the therapy might be of less than high quality". This can be true and not destroy the argumen…

It seems pseudo sufficient assumption to me and I think it can be mapped like this: stars are farther > farther stars are brighter therefore, stars are younger So the gap you need to fill in the argument is: if brighter then younger, as answer…

Thanks for the great write-up Addistotle, this is what I was looking for. I just didn't know where exactly it is best to focus my energy and now I have good plan. If any other people have methods they used to master the logic I would be interested…

I can recognize the validity of mapped arguments quickly, it's just getting it on the paper that's the hard part. I mess it up when translating. I think it may be all the qualifiers and extra language throwing me off.
