summary
the content provides an in-depth analysis of how to approach and solve a paradox question on the lsat, specifically focusing on an 'except' question type that involves identifying the answer choice that does not resolve a presented discrepancy.
- paradox questions require identifying an answer that explains a discrepancy between two elements.
- an 'except' question inverts this requirement, seeking the answer that does not explain the discrepancy.
- the example provided involves explaining an unexpected increase in gas bills despite the purchase of a highly efficient gas heater.
- answer choice a is identified as correct because it fails to explain the paradox of increased gas bills with reduced gas usage.
- other answer choices (b, c, d, e) offer explanations that resolve the paradox, thus illustrating why they are incorrect for an 'except' question.
