LSAT 105 | Section 3 | Reading Comprehension: Q3

RC Question 3 Explanation

QUESTION TEXT: If substituted for the word “resolve” …

DISCUSSION: The sentence says that when a predator is sighted, the school compacts so that the predator’s senses “may be unable to resolve individuals”.

From the context, you can gather that “resolve” means that the predator isn’t able to see the different individuals because they’re compacted.

___________

1. Control is to manage or direct something, which doesn’t fit.
2. Answer is to respond or solve a problem, which also makes no sense here.
3. Reconcile refers to bringing together conflicting things which also doesn’t fit.
4. CORRECT. The predator can’t distinguish the individual members when the school compacts.
5. Pacify means to calm or soothe, so that also doesn’t make sense.
