LSAT 128 | Section 4 | Reading Comprehension: Q12

RC Question 12 Explanation

QUESTION TEXT: The author most likely holds which one of the following …

DISCUSSION: You can’t really prephrase this. The correct answer should reflect an idea that the author implicitly supports.

___________

1. The passage mentions this as a view expressed in Allen’s films, but doesn’t claim it as a universal truth.
2. CORRECT. The last sentence of the second paragraph supports this. The author says this repeated portrayal of artists seems like an unresolved personal issue for Allen. So we can infer that the author would most likely believe that a recurring topic in an artist’s work suggests it’s an issue in their personal life.
3. There’s no claim that Allen’s approach is unique or he’s the only one doing this.
4. The author never qualifies or makes any claim about what makes true art.
5. There’s no reason to believe the author thinks Allen’s films accurately depict reality.
