LSAT Practice Test

Ruth responds to Jorge's criticism by

1. Providing additional evidence

2. Rejecting the argument

3. Offering a stronger conclusion

4. Agreeing with Jorge

The correct answer is: Providing additional evidence

Ruth responds to Jorge's criticism by providing additional evidence. This is the correct answer because providing additional evidence is a constructive way to address criticism and strengthen her argument. By offering more evidence to support her position, Ruth shows that she has carefully considered Jorge's critique and is willing to engage with it in a thoughtful and thorough manner. Option B, rejecting the argument, is incorrect because it would not effectively address Jorge's criticism and would not contribute to a productive dialogue between the two parties. Option C, offering a stronger conclusion, is also incorrect because it does not directly engage with Jorge's criticism or the specifics of his argument. Option D, agreeing with Jorge, is also not the best response as it would not effectively address the criticism or help to strengthen Ruth's position.
