Hi, I got this question correct but I was wondering if you could explain what kind of method A) uses to weaken the argument. I know that A) weakens the analogy that the proponent uses about farms. What is this method called?

Hi lsatquestions!

Answer choice (A) weakens the argument by pointing out the proponent's use of an Improper Comparison. Oftentimes, weaken questions will involve stimuli that contain logical fallacies, so (A) leverages this flaw to weaken the argument.

I hope this answers your question! :)
