Summary
The essence of tackling main point questions on the LSAT involves identifying an answer that encapsulates the entire argument of the passage, without necessarily detailing every concept discussed.
  • Main point questions require a summary of the whole argument, not just parts.
  • The correct answer must be broad enough to apply to all concepts mentioned in the passage.
  • Developing a prephrase for the main point as you read can guide you to the correct answer.
  • The example provided illustrates that the main point revolves around the argument that putting things on the web isn't a copyright violation.
  • Answer choices for main point questions often include details from the passage but may not be broad enough to cover the entire argument.
