Dave: "You weren't attracted to D, were you?"
Me: *quickly erases circle around D*
Hahaha! You know, I usually say that because I can see that there's some element of the choice that may be attractive. So you're not alone! And now you'll be on the lookout for just that kind of sneakiness from LSAC.
Ok so I was struggling with D, but picked A because it identified the studies, whereas D did not. It was too general? Is this sound?
Also, in looking at choice C, what threw me on this answer choice was declaring a study. If this wording had not been placed in there then I would have immediately checked off, but I did pause for thought. So my question is why would C be wrong and not weaken the argument?
TIA
It's good, but not necessary, that (A) directly attacks the studies.
The problem with (D) is that the argument already accounted for it; the argument doesn't need for therapists to work in similar ways. The idea was that something as basic as having someone listen to you could be the common factor.
This explanation probably helps you see why (C) may actually strengthen the argument. If the gains in therapy are due to something as simple as just having someone listen to you, then we'd expect that effect to hold whether the listener was trained or untrained.
I was attracted to C as well. I was trying to attack the argument by weakening "so any client improvement...common to all psychotherapies"
I chose C because I was thinking that the improvements might not have been from the common psychotherapies practice. But, maybe from a practice that was common among (all or other people) for example untrained layperson (given in the answer choice C).
^similar question, why wouldn't C weaken this argument?

I somehow missed Sandra's question above, until I saw your question.
I think my above response to her may clarify your question. Please let me know if you need further help with it, though!
