Summary
The content provides an in-depth analysis of a specific LSAT question type, focusing on inference questions related to authors' agreement on a topic, illustrated through a question on musical capacity in humans.
  • Inference questions require identifying points of agreement between authors, specifically concerning musical capacity in humans.
  • Answer choices are analyzed to determine which one both authors would likely agree on, based on their discussions on the evolution of music and brain size.
  • The correct answer (C) is identified through a process of elimination and detailed examination of each author's viewpoint on the relationship between music and evolutionary increases in brain size.
  • Other answer choices are systematically evaluated and dismissed based on the absence of consensus between the authors or lack of relevant information in the passages.
