Method of Reasoning Argument Part Question Type Review

Argument Part (AP) questions are a specific subset of Method of Reasoning
questions. In Method-AP questions, the question stem cites a specific portion of
the stimulus and then asks you to identify the role that the cited portion plays in
the structure of the argument.
The stimuli that accompany Method-AP questions tend to be more complex
than the average LSAT stimulus.
Method-AP questions often feature two conclusions—a main conclusion and
subsidiary conclusion—where the main conclusion is typically placed in the
first or second sentence, and the last sentence contains the subsidiary
conclusion. In addition, the subsidiary conclusion is often preceded by a
conclusion indicator such as “thus” or “therefore” while the main conclusion is
not prefaced by an indicator.
One trick used by the test makers in Method-AP questions is to create wrong
answers that describe parts of the argument other than the part named in the
question stem.
