LSAT 101 | Section 1 | Reading Comprehension: Q11

RC Question 11 Explanation

DISCUSSION: The Chinese immigrants are mentioned on lines 31-32. Whenever a specific line is mentioned, you should read above and below that line for context.

In this case, lines 23-26 provide the answer. The Pico struggle shows new roles that recent immigrants can play.

The Pico workers were not immigrants. So the passage mentions the Chinese workers as an example of this new role.

(It’s a poor example. It’s not clear what role the Chinese immigrants played.)

___________

1. We’re never told what working conditions are like for these new Chinese immigrants.
2. The passage implies that the Chinese workers and the Pico union faced a similar problem.
3. CORRECT. See lines 23-26. The Pico struggles suggests new roles for immigrants. The next sentence gives Chinese immigrants as an example (lines 27-32).
    
   The Pico workers were not immigrants.
4. We’re never told what kind of activism the Chinese immigrants did.
5. We have no idea what problems the Chinese immigrant community faced.
    
   Further, we have no evidence that any Chinese workers came on a trip to the United States. That was the problem faced by the Korean community.
