LSAT 128 | Section 4 | Reading Comprehension: Q10

RC Question 10 Explanation

QUESTION TEXT: Which one of the following most accurately captures the …

DISCUSSION: The first instinct should be to go back and read the sentence referred to. It says that Deconstructing Harry is likely the most “unequivocally peevish” depiction of artists by Allen. In other words, it’s a particularly harsh critique of artists.

This tone suggests bitterness and cynicism rather than something good or neutral.

___________

1. The passage doesn’t suggest the film is offensive.
2. The characters in the film are neurotic, but “peevish” is used to describe the tone of the film, not the nature of the characters.
3. Stubborn isn’t quite right. What would it even mean to say this is his most stubborn depiction of artists?
4. Same as B. The film’s characters are egocentric, but “peevish” is referring to the film itself.
5. CORRECT. If we substitute it, the line would read that Deconstructing Harry is the most sour depiction of artists by Allen. That fits.
