LSAT Practice Test

Which one of the following is an assumption required by the argument above?

1. Assumption

2. Cannot Be True

3. Evaluate

4. Weaken

The correct answer is: Assumption

In the context of an LSAT practice test, an assumption is a premise that must be true for the argument to hold logically. In this case, the question is asking for the assumption required by the argument provided. The correct answer is A because an assumption is a necessary component in an argument to bridge the gap between the premises and the conclusion. Without this assumption being true, the argument would fall apart. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not pertain to the specific role of an assumption in this context.
