Summary
The content provides an in-depth analysis of how to approach inference questions on the LSAT, specifically when dealing with comparative passages and the Indian Nonintercourse Act (INA).
  • Inference questions may ask about disagreements or agreements between authors, or about inferences that can be drawn from both passages.
  • The example focuses on determining what the author of passage A would think about the purpose of the INA.
  • The purpose of the INA was to protect transfers of property between Native Americans and others, and to guard against fraud.
  • A systematic approach to answering involves revisiting passage notes to identify relevant principles and examples.
  • The correct answer choice will align with the principle of protecting the transfer of property against fraud, as outlined in passage A.
