LSAT 101 | Section 4 | Reading Comprehension: Q13

RC Question 13 Explanation

DISCUSSION: At the end of the first paragraph, the passage claimed that the common law may allow Native Americans to protect their graves.

The second paragraph provides an example to support this claim.

___________

1. CORRECT. The first paragraph ends by saying that the common law may protect Native graves. The second paragraph gives one example: objects buried in graves are not abandoned property.
2. It’s true that Natives face difficulties. But the second paragraph is an example of how the law can help them: objects buried in graves are not abandoned property.
3. This happens in the third paragraph.
4. This is nonsense; it was never mentioned in the passage. Every legal case is an unresolved legal problem. The judge then resolves the problem.
5. Lines 45-47 show that Charrier v. Bell only applies when a Native group can show standing.
