Summary
The content provides an in-depth analysis of how to approach and solve a paradox question on the LSAT, specifically focusing on an 'except' question type that involves identifying the answer choice that does not resolve a presented discrepancy.
- Paradox questions require identifying an answer that explains a discrepancy between two elements.
- An 'except' question inverts this requirement, seeking the answer that does not explain the discrepancy.
- The example provided involves explaining an unexpected increase in gas bills despite the purchase of a highly efficient gas heater.
- Answer choice A is identified as correct because it fails to explain the paradox of increased gas bills with reduced gas usage.
- Other answer choices (B, C, D, E) offer explanations that resolve the paradox, thus illustrating why they are incorrect for an 'except' question.
