Thanks for the question! So remember, this is a strengthen with sufficient premise question. In other words, it’s asking us to assume one of the answer choices to help us draw the conclusion in the passage. So let’s say we assume (D). Let’s say it’s true that you can never use a garden rake in a way such that ALL the strokes are push strokes. OK, but it might be possible to use a garden rake in a way such that all but one of the strokes are push strokes, or some other huge majority. Or to use the rake in a way that none of the strokes at all are push strokes. And if that’s true, and you never have to use push strokes, then it’s unclear why straight-handled rakes are better, since you could just always use pull strokes. And in that case, the S-shaped rakes would be better. And if you can come up with counterexamples, then the answer choice isn’t correct, and so (D) is incorrect.

I chose B over A, I leaned A at the start but the "only" made be question and went with B; Should of stayed A. Need to narrow that scope of vision. LSAT questions exist in there own tiny universe of information...no more
