Question: 1 / 585

What is a recurrent type of wrong answer in Logical Reasoning that frequently appears?

A. Most art is shocking

In Logical Reasoning on the LSAT, one common type of wrong answer is known as a "most" statement. This type of statement makes a sweeping generalization that goes beyond what is supported by the information provided in the argument. It often exaggerates the scope or extent of a claim, leading to a distortion of the original reasoning. In this case, choice A, "Most art is shocking," falls into this category as it makes an overly broad assertion about the nature of art without specific evidence or support. In contrast, the correct answer focuses on the recurring issue of using extreme language ("most") without adequate justification.

B. Art used to be more shocking than it currently is

C. Anything that shocks is art

D. None of the above
