LSAC LawHub LSAT PrepTest 158 Logical Reasoning Section 2, Question 10:

Historian: In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the Swahili civilization of East Africa built tombs with large pillars and paneled facades. Such structures are widespread among the Oromo people of Somalia and Kenya, but are unknown among any other people with whom the Swahili civilization had contact. This indicates that Swahili culture was, to some extent, influence by Oromo culture.

10. The historian's argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it

A) fails to address adequately the possibility that the Oromo people did not use the structures as tombs
B) concludes, simply because one event occurred earlier than another event, that the first event caused the second event
C) draws a restricted conclusion from premises that provide strong support for a much broader conclusion
D) takes for granted that there was no third civilization responsible for creating the first tombs of the kind found in both the Oromo and Swahili cultures
E) takes for granted that the Oromo people began constructing tombs with large pillars and paneled facades earlier than the Swahili civilization did
