Study Notes
Logical Reasoning, Conditional Statements, and Argument Structure
- Logical reasoning questions prompt you to evaluate the argument in the passage.
- There are three families of logical reasoning questions: Implication, Characterization, and Operation.
- Implication questions require accepting the statements in the stimulus as true.
- Operation questions require accepting the answer choices as true.
- Indicator words for premises include "since," "because," and "given that," while indicator words for conclusions include "therefore," "thus," and "consequently."
- A subsidiary or intermediate conclusion is a conclusion supported by at least one premise and that itself supports another conclusion.
- An assumption is a claim not explicitly stated but necessary for the conclusion to logically follow from the premises.
- A valid argument is one in which the conclusion must be true if the premises are true.
- A necessary condition is required for another condition to be met, indicated by words like "then," "only if," "needs," and "requires."
- The word "only" introduces a necessary condition.
- The fallacy of the converse occurs when a necessary condition is assumed to be enough to meet a sufficient condition.
- The contrapositive is a valid inference where the failure to meet a necessary condition guarantees the failure to meet a sufficient condition.
