summary
the content provides an in-depth analysis of how to approach paradox questions on the lsat, specifically through the lens of a question involving concertgoers' responses to a survey about their local concert hall.
  • paradox questions involve scenarios where two pieces of information seem contradictory, and the task is to find an explanation that resolves the apparent conflict.
  • the example discussed involves concertgoers who are dissatisfied with their local concert hall but oppose its demolition for a new one, despite wanting improvements that the current hall cannot provide.
  • answer choices are analyzed to find one that explains the concertgoers' seemingly contradictory responses.
  • the correct answer choice offers a solution that allows for the desired improvements without needing to demolish the current concert hall, thus resolving the paradox.
  • this process highlights the importance of carefully considering all answer choices and their implications to correctly resolve paradox questions on the lsat.
