Summary
The content provides a detailed strategy for tackling detail questions on the LSAT, specifically within comparative passages, by illustrating the process through a specific question example.
  • Detail questions require identifying information explicitly mentioned in the passages.
  • In comparative passages, detail questions may ask for information present in both passages or only one.
  • The example question demonstrates finding a detail mentioned in both passages about the transfer of property.
  • A systematic approach is recommended, going through each answer choice and verifying against the passages.
  • The importance of distinguishing between different types of bases (philosophical vs. legal) and contexts (ideal vs. practical) is highlighted.
