Because, Argument structure= P/Intermediate (1,2…) + P= Conclusion. If you follow this method, you’ll always find the right answer so when i find the right answer, Why does the student need further explanations as to why that answer is most correct? An i absolutely understand, “The LSAT exam has only One-correct answer Choice.“ Thoughts?

However when it comes to answer choices you don't need to care if it does or doesn't match how you think the world works. It just needs to answer the question that was asked if you.
