Summary
The content provides a detailed strategy for tackling point-at-issue questions on the LSAT, focusing on identifying disagreements between two parties based on their statements.
- Point-at-issue questions require determining whether two parties agree or disagree on a specific matter.
- To answer these questions, it's essential to understand each party's statements and find provable points of disagreement.
- The example used involves a debate over whether a conceptual portrait by Marc Quinn qualifies as a true portrait of Sir John Sulston.
- A three-step checklist is recommended for evaluating answer choices: proving what each party thinks and confirming their disagreement.
- The correct answer is identified by eliminating options where both parties' views cannot be clearly determined or where they agree.
