LSAT 154 | Section 3 | Reading Comprehension: Q10

RC Question 10 Explanation

DISCUSSION: This question asks for how the Passages are related. In our Analysis section, we said Passage A talks about lying in historical novels and Passage B talks about lying in autobiographies. So both Passages talk about lying, but in different contexts.

___________

1. The passages aren’t related this way. They’re talking about different appropriate approaches in different contexts.
2. Passage A doesn’t outline principles and Passage B doesn’t apply them to a specific case.
3. The passages are talking about issues in different contexts, but their conclusions are somewhat congruent in that falsehoods can sometimes be preferable in writing.
4. CORRECT. Both talk about falsehoods in writing: Passage A talks about it in the context of historical fiction, and Passage B talks about it in the context of autobiography.
5. The passages agree on some ideas but come to a similar conclusion.
