LSAT 103 | Section 4 | Reading Comprehension: Q8

RC Question 8 Explanation

DISCUSSION: This is a trick question. You won’t find the answer by looking at the part of the passage that talks about the 1943 edition.

Look to lines 44-47. The author says that Porter constantly revised his work. So he must have revised his 1943 edition.

___________

1. We’re never told how many people noticed Porter’s book. He may have been instantly famous.
2. CORRECT. See lines 44-47.
3. We know Porter wrote about things that Locke never mentioned. But we don’t know if Porter criticized what Locke did write.
4. Lines 44-47 suggest there never was a definitive edition. Porter was constantly revising his work.
5. Porter’s 1943 book was on African-American art. Porter’s unfinished research on Western art came later.(lines 52-56)
