LSAT LR Question Types
Sir I want to know that what are the question types in Logical Reasoning in the Law School Admission Council LSAT is asked so I can have an idea?

Re: LSAT LR Question Types
Hi below I have given you the Law School Admission Council LSAT question types in Logical Reasoning so you can have a look Logical Reasoning section of the LSAT question types: Identify the Conclusion Strengthen the Conclusion Weaken the Conclusion Point of Contention Point of Agreement Must be True Most Supported Assumption Sufficient Assumption Paradox/Discrepancy Method of Reasoning Flawed Reasoning Parallel Reasoning and Flawed Parallel Reasoning Evaluate the Argument Cannot be True Principle Questions Types of questions Question 1 Laird: Pure research provides us with new technologies that contribute to saving lives. Even more worthwhile than this, however, is its role in expanding our knowledge and providing new, unexplored ideas. Kim: Your priorities are mistaken. Saving lives is what counts most of all. Without pure research, medicine would not be as advanced as it is. Laird and Kim disagree on whether pure research derives its significance in part from its providing new technologies expands the boundaries of our knowledge of medicine should have the saving of human lives as an important goal has its most valuable achievements in medical applications has any value apart from its role in providing new technologies to save lives Question 2 Executive: We recently ran a set of advertisements in the print version of a travel magazine and on that magazine’s website. We were unable to get any direct information about consumer response to the print ads. However, we found that consumer response to the ads on the website was much more limited than is typical for website ads. We concluded that consumer response to the print ads was probably below par as well. The executive’s reasoning does which one of the following? bases a prediction of the intensity of a phenomenon on information about the intensity of that phenomenon’s cause uses information about the typical frequency of events of a general kind to draw a conclusion about the probability of a particular event of that kind infers a statistical generalization from claims about a large number of specific instances uses a case in which direct evidence is available to draw a conclusion about an analogous case in which direct evidence is unavailable bases a prediction about future events on facts about recent comparable events Question 3 During the construction of the Quebec Bridge in 1907, the bridge’s designer, Theodore Cooper, received word that the suspended span being built out from the bridge’s cantilever was deflecting downward by a fraction of an inch (2.54 centimeters). Before he could telegraph to freeze the project, the whole cantilever arm broke off and plunged, along with seven dozen workers, into the St. Lawrence River. It was the worst bridge construction disaster in history. As a direct result of the inquiry that followed, the engineering “rules of thumb” by which thousands of bridges had been built around the world went down with the Quebec Bridge. Twentieth-century bridge engineers would thereafter depend on far more rigorous applications of mathematical analysis. Which one of the following statements can be properly inferred from the passage? Bridges built before about 1907 were built without thorough mathematical analysis and, therefore, were unsafe for the public to use. Cooper’s absence from the Quebec Bridge construction site resulted in the breaking off of the cantilever. Nineteenth-century bridge engineers relied on their rules of thumb because analytical methods were inadequate to solve their design problems. Only a more rigorous application of mathematical analysis to the design of the Quebec Bridge could have prevented its collapse. Prior to 1907 the mathematical analysis incorporated in engineering rules of thumb was insufficient to completely assure the safety of bridges under construction. |
