LR Question 3 Explanation

QUESTION TEXT: Having lived through extraordinary childhood circumstances…

QUESTION TYPE: Must be True

FACTS: Robin was raised without knowledge of right or wrong. Robin knew the offense was illegal, but not immoral.

ANALYSIS: This is pretty straightforward. Robin did something bad, and didn’t realize it was morally wrong. We can draw the (perhaps too obvious) conclusion that Robin did something morally wrong.

___________

1. Robin did commit an offense which was not legally permissible.
2. CORRECT. Yes. To have not recognized that her actions were morally wrong, Robin had to have done something morally wrong.
3. We can’t conclude this. The stimulus is only about Robin, not what the law should or should not do.
4. Hard to say, we don’t know what the circumstances were.
5. Unfortunately for poor Robin, we don’t know if this is true.

Recap: The question begins with “Having lived through extraordinary childhood circumstances”. It is a Must be True question. Learn how to master LSAT MBT questions on the LSAT Logical Reasoning question types page.
