LSAT 32 Explanations

LR Question 11 Explanation, by LSATHacks

QUESTION TEXT: Many of the presidents and prime ministers…

QUESTION TYPE: Must be True

FACTS:

  1. Many presidents and prime ministers with successful foreign policies had no foreign policy experience when they started.
  2. Anyone with an acute political sense, a disciplined temperament and a highly developed ability to absorb or retain information can quickly learn to conduct a successful foreign policy.
  3. Prior experience in foreign policy isn’t worth much if someone lacks those three abilities. 

ANALYSIS: This shows that foreign policy experience isn’t enough on its own (not sufficient.) It also is not needed if you have the three characteristics (it isn’t necessary.)

___________

  1. We don’t actually know if the scholars have any experience. They might just study such issues without actually participating. 
  2. CORRECT. You can succeed without experience and you can easily fail even if you have it. 
  3. The first sentence contradicts this. Many leaders have succeeded even without experience.
  4. Not quite. They’re just helpful qualities: anyone with those abilities can learn foreign policy. But there might be other ways of succeeding. 
  5. This isn’t necessarily true if the experienced leader lacks those three important traits.
