LSAT Practice Test

Which one of the following is most closely parallel in its reasoning to the reasoning in the argument above?

1. A. A conclusion drawn from consistent experimental results

2. B. An argument based on universally acknowledged facts

3. C. A deduction made from concrete statistics

4. D. A claim supported by logical reasoning

The correct answer is: D. A claim supported by logical reasoning

The argument above is talking about parallel reasoning, which is basically using similar reasoning to form an argument. We are looking for the option that closely resembles the argument provided. Option A talks about consistent experimental results, which is not mentioned in the given argument. Option B talks about universally acknowledged facts, which is not related to the argument either. Option C talks about concrete statistics, which are not mentioned in the argument. Therefore, these options are incorrect. Option D, however, talks about a claim supported by logical reasoning, which is mentioned in the given argument. This option closely resembles the argument and is therefore the correct answer.
