Point of Agreement & Dialogue Stimuli

The mirror image of yesterday: find a claim both speakers actually agree on, even if their broader positions differ. Rarer than Point at Issue but built the same way.

1. Shared Premise, Not Shared Conclusion

Speakers can agree on an underlying fact while disagreeing about what follows from it — that shared fact is a valid Point of Agreement answer.

2. Reading Two-Speaker Stimuli Efficiently

Map each speaker's position in one phrase before touching the question, same discipline as single-speaker argument anatomy.

Practice items on this page are curriculum-authored in LSAT style; they are not official LSAC questions. Real drilling happens on LawHub — see the assignment below.

Q1. Speaker A: "The policy is expensive, but worth it for the safety benefit." Speaker B: "The policy is expensive, and not worth the cost." What do they agree on?

A. The policy is worth the cost

B. The policy is expensive

C. The policy has no safety benefit

D. The policy should be repealed

Correct answer: B. Both explicitly state the policy is expensive — they disagree about whether it's worth it, but agree on the cost claim itself.
