summary
the content provides an in-depth analysis of how to approach and solve an 'inference except' question on the lsat, using a specific question as an example to illustrate the methodology.
  • inference except questions require identifying one unprovable or contradicted statement among four provable ones based on the passage.
  • the strategy involves evaluating each answer choice systematically to determine which one cannot be proven with information from the passage.
  • answer choices a through d are analyzed and found to be provable based on the passage, leading to the conclusion that answer choice e is the correct answer as it is opposed by the author's views.
  • the example used demonstrates the importance of understanding the author's perspective and using it to guide the elimination of answer choices.
