LSAT Practice Test

Which one of the following arguments is most similar in its pattern of reasoning to the argument above?

1. Assumption

2. Flaw

3. Method

4. Parallel

The correct answer is: Parallel

The correct answer is D. Parallel. This is because the question stem asks for an argument that is most similar in its pattern of reasoning to the argument provided in the passage. The concept of "parallel" in this context means finding a similar structural logic or reasoning in another argument. In this case, the answer choice D suggests finding another argument that follows a similar pattern of reasoning as the argument in the passage. This is why option D is the most appropriate choice for this question.
