LSAT - LOGICAL REASONING - WRONG ANSWER TYPES

outside the scope

a choice containing a statement that is too broad, too narrow, or beyond the purview of the stimulus

extreme

a choice containing language too emphatic to be supported by the stimulus - all, never, every, none

faulty use of detail

a choice that accurately states something from the stimulus but in a manner that answers that question incorrectly; this type is rarely used in LR

irrelevant comparison

a choice that compares two items or attributes in a way not germane to the author's argument or statements

180

a choice that directly contradicts what the correct answer must say (for example, a choice that strengthens the argument in a weaken question)

distortion

a choice that mentions details from the stimulus but mangles or misstates the relationship between them given or implied by the author
