Summary
The content provides an in-depth analysis of how to approach comparative questions on the LSAT, specifically focusing on identifying the relationship between two passages.
  • Comparative questions require understanding the relationship between two passages, often asking where did music come from.
  • Passages may use different kinds of evidence to answer the same question but arrive at divergent conclusions.
  • Identifying the correct relationship involves dismissing incorrect answer choices through logical reasoning and understanding of the passages' content.
  • The correct answer choice for comparative questions will accurately reflect the nature of evidence and conclusions drawn by each passage.
  • The LSAT does not require making judgment calls on subjective matters like an author's commitment to their hypothesis.
