Summary
The content provides an in-depth analysis of how to approach paradox questions on the LSAT, using a specific example involving dragonflies and red devil crayfish to illustrate the process of resolving a paradox by selecting the correct answer that explains the coexistence of seemingly contradictory facts.
- Paradox questions require explaining why two seemingly contradictory facts can coexist.
- The example used involves dragonflies that thrive in the presence of their predators, the red devil crayfish, which eat their larvae.
- The correct answer explains a benefit provided by the crayfish, which outweighs the negative impact of predation.
- Answer choice A resolves the paradox by showing that crayfish create habitats that allow dragonfly larvae to survive even when wetlands dry up.
- Other answer choices are dismissed because they either do not address the paradox, make the paradox worse, or are irrelevant to the dragonflies' survival advantage.
