Parallel Flaw Questions

If the reasoning is flawed, the question stem will state that the reasoning is bad
by using words such as “flawed” or “questionable.” If the reasoning is not flawed, then
the question stem will not refer to flawed reasoning.
The stimulus for a Parallel Reasoning question can contain either valid or
invalid reasoning. Since the February 1992 LSAT, whenever a Parallel
Reasoning question contains flawed reasoning, it is stated in the question stem.
If there is no mention of flawed reasoning in the question stem, the reasoning in
the stimulus is valid (and vice versa).When a Parallel Reasoning stimulus contains
flawed reasoning, we identify it as
a Parallel Flaw question. Like Flaw in the Reasoning questions, Parallel Flaw
questions use many of the common forms of erroneous reasoning.
Here are two Parallel Flaw question stem examples. They are virtually identical
to the previous Parallel Reasoning questions stems with the exception that they
contain a term indicating that the reasoning in the stimulus is invalid:
“The flawed reasoning in which one of the following is most similar to
the flawed reasoning in the argument above?”
“The questionable pattern of reasoning in the argument is most similar to
that in which one of the following?”
