easy · LSAT Logical Reasoning

The reasoning in the argument is flawed because the argument

1. presumes, without justification, that satisfying a prerequisite is by itself enough to produce the outcome that prerequisite makes possible
2. overlooks the possibility that meeting one's sales targets is entirely irrelevant to whether a particular promotion is ultimately awarded
3. depends on a plain misreading of the word 'unless,' which in fact introduces an outright guarantee rather than a mere requirement
4. concludes that an outcome simply will not occur on the sole basis that some required condition for it has failed to be properly met
5. fails to consider that a particular person might still be promoted even though that person had never once met any of the stated sales targets
