Sufficient assumption questions: Restating clonclusion

by brainwvs Mon Apr 07, 2014 6:34 pm

We have been taught that rewording conclusion is a sign of an incorrect answer. Yet, rewording conclusion is quite common among correct LSAT answers. See, for example:
PT 22, sec 4, q 2
PT 40 Sec 1 q 19
PT 52, sec 1, q 17 and the list goes on and on. So who is right Manhattan prep or people who are making LSAT questions??

Please help. I feel quite confused.

Hey Marie,

None of those examples reword the conclusion, as far as I can see. If you really think you've found an example of that, please post both

a) the exact words used in the passage that you think are the conclusion

and

b) the exact words used in the correct answer choice that you think restates the conclusion

I'm happy to go through that exercise with you, but I promise you that there has never been an LSAT assumption question in which the correct answer is simply a rewording of the conclusion. New words create new meanings, I promise!

CONCLUSION:
Criminal organizations will undoubtedly try to become increasingly involved in the areas of biotech and info tech.

CORRECT ANSWER CHOICE:
Any organization whose main purpose is to generate profits will try to become increasingly involved in any technological revolution that promises to generate enormous profits.

The colored part is the same, but you were bringing this as an example of the correct answer repeating the conclusion?
