Summary
Understanding how to approach inference questions on the LSAT involves discerning the author's likely beliefs based on passage content, using evidence to support answer choices.
- Inference questions require proving what the author would believe, often necessitating a process of elimination among answer choices.
- A common trap in these questions is extreme interpretations of the author's views, which should be avoided.
- The correct answer is supported by direct evidence from the passage, as demonstrated with answer choice B regarding species' adaptation.
- Incorrect answers often misrepresent the author's views, are too extreme, or mix familiar concepts without proving a point.
