LSAT 105 | Section 3 | Reading Comprehension: Q6

RC Question 6 Explanation

QUESTION TEXT: It can be inferred from the passage that if cannibalism …

DISCUSSION: Cannibalism is addressed in the last paragraph, which states that as a school’s population increases, food becomes scarce, and adults may start eating the young. It also says that some members of the school may leave because of these problems.

So, if an outside individual is encountering the school, it’s not likely to want to join.

___________

1. If there’s already food scarcity, and cannibalism, this seems like a dumb strategy.
2. The passage says adults eat the young, not the other way around.
3. CORRECT. If food is scarce and the school members are eating each other, an individual would be unlikely to join.
4. This is unrelated to cannibalism.
5. The passage does mention coordinated movements to escape predators, but nothing suggests a lone crustacean would try to confuse the school.
