Summary
The essence of tackling inference questions on the LSAT involves cataloging given information and identifying provable assertions based on that information.
  • Inference questions require examining the information presented and determining what can be logically concluded from it.
  • The example provided involves an environmentalist's statements about pollution, gasoline prices, and the impact of heavier taxes on consumer behavior.
  • The correct answer choice (C) is supported by the environmentalist's prediction that heavier taxes would lead to reduced gasoline consumption, thereby decreasing pollution from cars.
  • Incorrect answer choices either introduce unsupported claims or misinterpret the environmentalist's statements.
  • The process of elimination based on the given facts and logical reasoning is crucial in selecting the correct answer.
