This is from the second logical reasoning section from the Feb. 96 Lsat.
It should begin as so:
"Many scholars believe that official medieval persecutions..."
So the stimulus presents a belief that many scholars believe, and their reasons for believing it. Author then questions their explanation for their belief, presents some evidence to support h/er/is conclusion, "highly questionable."
I got question 4 correct. Yay!
5 though...
So for this question we are trying to strengthen the author's position. I chose (B), why? well because I thought protection=we friends I love you!!! (exaggerating because this just got real with 9 more days till Dday) O wow. Anyhow now I realized (B) is way off.
Why? because that would not make the scholars belief questionable, at most it supports the scholars belief. Please correct me if I am wrong.
On the other hand, I couldn't even grasp why (A) is right. I think its because I did not understand the stimulus.
The two reasons why the Author thinks scholars belief is questionable:
1) Coming to think about it. The language in this sentence throws me off. (Lines 5-8)
But here's a try, I think its that the most violent and sustained persecutions were not hostile to the group being persecuted.
2) The most serious and widespread are those who argued the official's right to govern.
So authorities are not reluctant.
With all this being said, I think I am coming to realize why (A) is right.
Those that disputed official's right to govern is a minority group.
This idea paired with (A), which is the idea that: Official persecutions...usually preceded by...vilifying...groups...persecuted.
Makes us rethink whether officials were really reluctant after all, since if they were why would they vilify the groups being persecuted.
Well thats all folks of powerscore, I hope I am not too off. And I want to thank you now for helping me out.
