Summary
The content focuses on strategies for tackling detail questions on the LSAT, emphasizing the importance of directly referenced information in the passage for selecting the correct answer.
- Detail questions on the LSAT are akin to an Easter egg hunt, requiring test-takers to find specific information mentioned in the passage.
- The correct answer to a detail question is always something that was explicitly stated in the passage.
- Using an example question about why mammals were able to survive catastrophic environmental changes, the explanation demonstrates how to identify the correct answer by referring back to the passage.
- Incorrect answers often include plausible but unsupported statements, highlighting the necessity of basing answers strictly on the passage content.
- The example provided illustrates that the correct answer (mammals were relatively small) is directly supported by the passage, unlike the other options.
