LR Question 7 Explanation

QUESTION TEXT: Rotelle: You are too old to address effectively the difficult…

QUESTION TYPE: Must be True

ANALYSIS: We don’t know how old Sims is. We also don’t know if Rotelle think anyone can address the issues facing the country. All we know is Rotelle thinks Sims cannot, because of his age.

___________

1. Not necessarily. Perhaps Sims is 109 years old and Rotelle thinks everyone 108 or younger would do just fine. There aren’t many people 109 or older.
2. Not likely. I doubt Rotelle thinks babies can solve the issues facing the country. There can be other reasons apart from old age that someone might fail.
3. Technically, we don’t know if Rotelle thinks anyone can do the job (even himself.)
4. CORRECT. Yes. Anyone as old as Sims or older cannot address the issues, according to Rotelle. So if anyone can, they must be younger.
5. Success doesn’t require understanding youth it requires being younger than Sims.

Recap: The question begins with “Rotelle: You are too old to address effectively the difficult”. It is a Must be True question. Learn how to master LSAT MBT questions on the LSAT Logical Reasoning question types page.
