A written answer, marked
A question from an LSAT mock paper, answered and marked. From LSAT Practice Questions: 10 Questions With Explanations.
A museum reports that visitor numbers rose after it introduced free evening admission. Which assumption is required by the conclusion that free evening admission caused the rise?
3/4The free admission must have attracted people who would not otherwise have visited. The museum may also have advertised the evenings.
You identified a relevant causal assumption, but the answer does not exclude the possibility that the increase began before free admission. The question requires the link between the policy and the timing of the rise.
Missed
−State the causal assumption precisely: the rise followed the policy and was not fully explained by another change.
Model answerThe argument assumes that the increase occurred after free evening admission began and that no other new factor better explains the increase. A claim about advertising alone does not establish that free admission caused the change.
