Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=11403)

The correct answer choice is (A)

The passage never states that many working parents are forced to decline professional positions in order to accept more flexible nonprofessional positions.

Why is answer choice C incorrect? In lines 43-46 it is mentioned that working parents may be forced to take jobs with limited responsibility and more limited career opportunities in order to have a more flexible schedule.

Hi sarae,

Thanks for your question--take another look at that question type: it is a Must be True EXCEPT, which means that the correct answer choice is the one that is not confirmed to be true by the stimulus--the four incorrect answers to such a question will be the ones that Must Be True.

You are correct that the author mentions answer choice C--that is what makes this choice one of the four incorrect answer choices.

I hope that's helpful! Please let me know whether this is clear--thanks!

Oh! that was a dumb mistake, sorry!

However, in lines 51-59 the article discusses women being more likely to become a teacher rather than a school administrator in order to have less conventional full time work schedules. I'm assuming A is correct because a teacher is just a different specialization rather than a nonprofessional job?

Thanks!!
