LSAT Practice Test

When a common argument structure briefing mentions "One caused the other," what does it imply?

1. Conclusion

2. Assumption

3. Evidence

4. Interpretation

The correct answer is: Conclusion

When a common argument structure briefing mentions "One caused the other," it implies that it is indicating a conclusion. In this context, the phrase "One caused the other" indicates a causal relationship or a direct cause-and-effect statement, which typically serves as the ultimate conclusion or main point being made in the argument. Therefore, the correct answer is A. The other options can be ruled out as they do not directly relate to the concept of causation or the main point of the argument. "Assumption" refers to a premise taken for granted or accepted as true without proof, "Evidence" pertains to facts or information used to support a claim, and "Interpretation" involves explaining or understanding the meaning of something.
