summary
mastering fill-in-the-blank questions on the lsat requires understanding the structure of the question and identifying keywords that guide the logic of the answer.
- identify the keyword in the question that indicates the type of response needed; in this case, 'that so' signals an analogy.
- understand the structure of the analogy presented in the question to predict the correct answer.
- evaluate each answer choice by how well it fits the analogy and the logic of the question, not just by superficial similarity.
- discard answer choices that do not match the logic required by the keyword and the structure of the analogy.
- the correct answer choice will logically complete the analogy, as demonstrated by the comparison between reflecting on one's life and reflecting on the century.
