LSAT CR

by crimson2283 » Fri Feb 11, 2011 1:00 am
Physiological research has uncovered disturbing evidence linking a number of structural disorder disorders to logging. Among the ailments seemingly connected with this now-popular sport are spinal disk displacements, stress fractures of the feet and ankles, knee and hip joint deterioration, and tendonitis. Furthermore, these injuries do not occur exclusively among beginning runners-veteran joggers suffer an equal percentage of injuries. What the accumulating data suggest is that the human anatomy is not able to withstand the stresses of jogging.

Which one of the following is an assumption of the argument?
(A) The link between jogging and certain structural disorders appears to be a causal one.
(B) Jogging causes more serious disorders than other sports.
(C) The jogger's level of experience is a factor determining the likelihood of a jogging injury.
(D) Some sports are safer for the human body than jogging.
(E) The human species is not very durable.

If D is negated, D could be the OA too right?

I think it should be C.

The negation test does not seem to be very helpful here. Whats the OA.

I think A,B,E are out of context.

D is wrong because NOwhere we talk abt other sports,

Even if u negate C, the conclusion remains.
Answer should be A
For D:Even if no sport is safer than jogging, the conclusion s remains.Maybe the Human anatomy is not meant for participation in any Sport
I Seek Explanations Not Answers
