LSAT Preptest 108 explanations

RC Question 15 Explanation

DISCUSSION: On this type of question, first focus on eliminating several wrong answers. They decide between the remaining answers by supporting your choice using a detail from the passage.

___________

  1. We have no idea who controls training. Maybe the government or universities control training.
  2. CORRECT. Lines 49-53 support this. It says that people are excluded from power if they are excluded from legal discourse. The author treats legal discourse and power as being the same.
  3. We don’t know this. Lines 9-12 say that legal systems were always objective. If objective means abstract, then legal systems may have been just as abstract 300 years ago as they are today.
  4. Legal discourse has traditionally assumed that there is such a thing as a neutral observer. It’s modern psychologists who have denied that a neutral observer can exist (lines 18-23).
  5. Actually, traditional legal discourse assumes that most world-views are wrong. There is a single, objective truth. If you disagree with the objective truth, then your worldview must be wrong.
