LSAT Practice Test

The conclusion cited does not follow unless

1. Assumption

2. Resolve

3. Conclusion

4. Critique

The correct answer is: Assumption

The correct answer is A. In this context, the conclusion cited will not logically follow unless there is an assumption made to bridge the gap between the premises and the conclusion. The assumption acts as a necessary premise to ensure that the conclusion can be properly drawn from the given information. Without this assumption, the conclusion may lack the support or connection it needs to be valid. Options B, C, and D are not the correct answers in this case. The term "Resolve" does not directly address the gap in logic between the premises and the conclusion; "Conclusion" is simply restating a component of the question itself, and "Critique" does not provide a solution for the lack of logical connection between the premises and the conclusion.
