LSAT 29 Explanations

LR Question 3 Explanation, by LSATHacks

QUESTION TEXT: Physical education should teach people to pursue…

QUESTION TYPE: Most Strongly Supported

FACTS: 

  1. Physical education should teach people to pursue healthy, active lifestyles.
  2. But the focus on competitive sports in schools causes non-competitive children to turn away from sport.
  3. These children then learn to think of themselves as unathletic and do not exercise enough to stay healthy. 

ANALYSIS: It sounds like physical education sometimes causes people to become unathletic. This defeats the aim of physical education. 

___________

  1. CORRECT. This will help the non-competitive children learn to become active. That will help physical education fulfill its role. 
  2. We don’t know if most students turn away from sports. We only know that some do. 
  3. Who knows? We’re only told that non-competitive children don’t exercise regularly. 
  4. Hard to say. We know that the mental aspect is important but we don’t know if it is as important as the physical aspect.
  5. Maybe? The whole stimulus is about physical education and how competition turns some children off sport. This seems off topic.

    Graeme,

    The link to here from the table of contents is broken (directs instead of preptest 19). Thanks again for the explanations.

      Is the error still happening? I clicked on it and it goes to 29 for me.

        I see what’s going on – if you click on the Logical Reasoning 2 link at the top it takes you to the contents for PrepTest 19.
