LSAT Preptest 152, Section 2, Question 19

"Some species of tarantula make…"

Explanation

A. (Correct Response) This argument follows the same structure by using a process of elimination based on the presence of a specific trait (regular meter in poems) to conclude that Strawn did not write at least some of the poems in the collection, as all his known works lack this characteristic. 


B. This choice suggests some of Strawn's poetry is outside the collection based on the presence of regular meter, which is a reversal of the original argument's structure. 


C. This introduces an absolute negation about Strawn's poetry in the collection, which is not a direct parallel to the tarantula argument. 


D. This choice involves a conclusion about unpublished work, which is not an element of the original argument's structure. 


E. This option incorrectly suggests that Strawn's poetry having a regular meter is based on what is not found in the collection, which is not a direct parallel to the original argument.
