QUESTION TEXT: Wanda: It is common sense that one cannot…
QUESTION TYPE: Principle – Conform (underly)
ARGUMENTS: Wanda says artists need stimuli, therefore her studio is messy.
Vernon points out that Wanda’s stimuli suck.
ANALYSIS: Wanda focuses on the amount of stimuli. Vernon points out their quality is relevant too.
___________
- Vernon didn’t say anything about unhealthy work areas.
- CORRECT. If quality didn’t matter, then laundry and soap bottles would be fine stimuli. Vernon’s point is that quality does matter and Wanda needs better stimuli.
- Vernon talked about what is stimulating, not what should be stimulating. The LSAT makes a strict separation between what is true and what ought to be.
- Close, but Vernon didn’t say this. It’s possible that Vernon thinks a messy studio full of high quality stimuli would improve creativity. Wanda’s problem is that her mess is full of mundane, uninspiring objects like laundry.
- First, Vernon is talking about what is true, not what should be. Second, Vernon said low-quality mess is bad, but he didn’t say empty was good. Vernon might think that a place with lots of high quality stimuli is even better.
