How would I narrow down between two answer choices? Is there an alternative like "Why Test" for Sufficient and Necessary?
While I understand that the LSAT only offers one correct answer choice for each of the questions, I have a hard time finding the answer. I am usually able to apply the sufficient and necessary conditions but get stuck between two answer choices. In doing so, I most often end up selecting the wrong answer. Is there an alternative method similar to the "Why Test" that can be applied here to find out the correct answer choice?

Hi, while I don't think there are any test like that in general (although for necessary assumption questions you'll see the negation test), my favorite approach is to try to poke holes in them. When comparing two answer choices, most people are looking for the one that is right, and I think that can often lead to confirmation bias. So, to counter this, I try to look for the one that is wrong, and the answer choice that I can't prove wrong is correct.
