RC Question 8 Explanation, by LSATHacks

DISCUSSION: See lines 22-25. They’re the only lines that say how countries have used UNESCO regulations. Some countries have said all antiquities belong to the state and cannot be exported.

All the wrong answers describe things the passage never mentions. They might be true in real life, or good ideas, but that’s not what you’re looking for.

___________

1. The author might think this is a good idea, but that’s not what you’re looking for. You’re looking for something that the passage said countries have actually done, and the passage doesn’t say any countries have done this.
2. CORRECT. Lines 22-25 say this directly.
3. Same as A. The author might think this is a good idea, but that’s not what you’re looking for. You’re looking for something that countries have done, and the passage doesn’t say any countries have done this.
4. The passage never says any countries have done this. It’s true, in the real world, that some cultures spill across national boundaries. But you’re looking for ways that countries have used the UNESCO doctrine, according to the passage.
5. Unfortunately, the passage never says that any countries have tried to preserve artifacts in countries like Mali.
