Summary
The content provides an in-depth analysis of how to approach a 'point at issue' question on the LSAT, focusing on discerning the disagreement between two speakers based on their statements.
- Identify the core disagreement between two speakers by analyzing their explicit statements.
- Taylor introduces research claiming 61% of communication is nonverbal but doubts such precise claims; Sandra believes in the possibility of precision in science.
- The correct answer hinges on finding a statement that both speakers would definitively disagree on, based on their explicit views.
- Answer choice D is correct because it aligns with Sandra's belief in scientific precision and contradicts Taylor's skepticism towards mathematically precise claims.
- The process involves eliminating answers that do not definitively show a disagreement between the two speakers based on their stated views.
