The correct answer to a Method question is just what happened in fancy words.  \nYou have a Loophole or a Controversy, so you know what happened.  \nGo find an answer choice that describes what  \nhappened.  \nDid this happen?  \n• If yes, choose it.  \n• If no, cross it off.  \n• If you’re not sure, leave it for later.  \nMETHOD GAME PLAN  \nMethod questions ask you to describe what happened in the stimulus in abstract terms. This is perfect! You already designed your Loophole, so you know the stimulus well enough to describe it.  \nWhen you see it’s a Method question, bring your knowledge of the stimulus to the forefront. Look back over the stimulus and describe to yourself how the argument arrived at its conclusion. Method questions don’t want you tobe creative. When you’re choosing an answer, you have to be sure of one thing: It actually happened.  \nYou may be wondering,“I really just have to describe what happened in the stimulus? What’s the catch?” The catch is one thing: language. Method questions have some of the wordiest answer choices in all of LR.  \nThat’s why there’s a big word list on the next page. The Method Vocab List is filled with words you’ll see in Method answer choices. If you’re unsure about any of these words, memorize the definition. You can’t just “kinda get the gist” of these words. You need to feel ultra-comfortable, like you could use the phrase in a sentence easily. If it’snot easy to use, you don’t know it well enough for the LSAT. As you go over this list, highlight the words you don’t know to differentiate them from the rest.  \nTHE METHOD VOCAB LIST  \nVEXING WORDS  \nqualify/qualified  \nimplicit premise  \nsuggests its conclusion is incorrect questions the adequacy of a conclusion phenomenon/phenomena  \ndrawing a distinction  \nan instance  \nrefute  \nappeals to purported  \napply  \nsole  \ncorresponding  \ndisanalogous (pre)supposition/(pre)suppose counterargument  \ncounter assertions  \ninconsistent statements  \nproposition  \nsupposed (pronounced suppose-ED, like“suppose” + the beginning of “education”)  \ntreats an X as a Y  \nscope  \nWHAT THEY MEAN  \nto limit a claim, qualified claims are limited to make them more provable  \nassumption  \nsays the facts of the conclusion are not true says the conclusion has not been proven a thing! or things!  \npointing out a difference between two things a specific example of something being discussed tear down someone else’s argument  \nlooks to something to support their point  \nsomething that is claimed to be true, but probably not true, usually used to throw shade  \nto be relevant, if something doesn’t apply, it shouldn’t be used in the argument  \nonly one  \na similar thing in another situation not similar  \nassumption/assume  \nan argument against a given point make an argument against something  \nthe two statements contradict one another  \nstatement  \npoorly assumed, usually used to throw shade  \npretends that X is Y  \nthe world of whatever you’re talking about  \n•  \nBelieve it or not, this is the abridged version of the Method Vocab list.  \nThere are many more potentially confusing words.
