Hi LSAT MAX! I chose "C. It is not possible to determine the truthfulness of a photograph in any sense." because if you negate this answer to "It is possible to determine the truthfulness of a photograph in any sense," the conclusion wouldn't make sense. Therefore, it does strengthen the conclusion. Could you further explain why C) is wrong? Thank you in advance!

    I think you're treating this as a necessary assumption question rather than a sufficient assumption, which it is. The negation test only applies to necessary assumptions. C is wrong because it doesn't fix the flaw.
