  1. A passage argues that mandatory sentencing removes judicial discretion and leads to unjust outcomes. Which of the following, if true, would most WEAKEN this argument?

    Answer: Judges sometimes impose inconsistent sentences for identical crimes

    If judicial discretion itself produces inconsistent and potentially unjust outcomes, limiting it through mandatory sentencing could improve consistency.

  2. Which statement about the LNAT is accurate?

    Answer: It is a standardised test designed to assess aptitude, not legal knowledge

    The LNAT explicitly tests verbal reasoning aptitude, not prior knowledge of law.

  3. An argument uses the phrase 'studies show' without citing specific research. This weakens the argument because it:

    Answer: Relies on an unverifiable appeal to unnamed authority

    Vague references to unnamed studies cannot be verified or scrutinised, weakening the evidential basis.

  4. A passage states that freedom of speech should be unrestricted. An implicit assumption underlying this view is most likely that:

    Answer: Individuals can distinguish valuable speech from harmful speech

    Unrestricted speech only functions well if people can exercise judgment about what to accept or reject.

  5. A defendant is charged with theft. The prosecution presents evidence that the defendant was near the crime scene. This evidence is best classified as:

    Answer: Circumstantial evidence

    Proximity to a crime scene requires inference to connect it to guilt, making it circumstantial rather than direct.

  6. An author writes: 'Most experts agree that X is true, therefore X must be true.' This is an example of:

    Answer: An appeal to authority (argumentum ad verecundiam)

    Citing expert consensus as proof commits an appeal to authority, which is fallacious when experts can be wrong.

  7. In a comprehension passage, the author's 'tone' is best identified by examining:

    Answer: Word choice, sentence structure, and rhetorical devices throughout

    Tone is conveyed through language choices and rhetorical patterns embedded throughout the text.
