LSAT 139 | Section 3 | Reading Comprehension: Q3

RC Question 3 Explanation

DISCUSSION: Start reading at paragraph 3, where the passage talks about ‘pick your own farming’. Just keep reading the sentence (it ends at the first sentence of paragraph 3), and you’ll see the answer.

Pick your own farming lets farmers offer cheaper prices than supermarkets, while lowering their costs.

___________

1. This sounds nice, but the author doesn’t mention it as an advantage of pick your own farming.
2. This is an advantage of CMCs, but it’s not necessarily an advantage of pick your own farming.
3. CORRECT. Exactly. Farmers save harvesting costs. So they can charge less, but make a profit. See the first sentence of paragraph 3.
4. This is an advantage of CMCs, listed in the second paragraph. It’s not an advantage of pick your own farming.
5. Actually, the passage doesn’t say how many people would be willing to drive to farms. It’s a major weakness in the argument.
