LSAT 33, Reading Comprehension, Q21

DISCUSSION: Lines 22-25 say that some crops like corn and sugarcane may grow less quickly, compared to other plants.

___________

1. This is possible. The passage say that low photosynthetic plants might gain a new advantage.
2. This is exactly what lines 22-25 predict: high photosynthetic plants lost their advantage.
3. CORRECT. This isn’t perfect. We’re not told that photosynthetic efficiency is the only factor in plant growth. But it’s still the least consistent answer. Lines 22-25 say that plants with high photosynthetic efficiency lose their edge with high CO2, and this seems to contradict that. 
4. This could happen. Photosynthetic efficiency is unlikely to be the only factor in plant growth.
5. Lines 22-25 don’t tell us anything about leguminous plants. Maybe they hate CO2, and so we should expect they will decrease.
