Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=14182)
The correct answer choice is (E)
This question is a more abstract extension of Question 24. We know that Passage A presents a theory of property ownership, which Passage B applies to the case of Native Americans. The correct answer choice will contain document titles indicating a similar relationship between a theory and the application of that theory in a particular case.
Answer choice (A): This answer choice is incorrect because the titles indicate that the documents are contradictory: one document details how to gamble well, while the other argues, presumably, that one should not gamble, since doing so is evil.
Answer choice (B): As with answer choice (A), the titles indicate that these documents take incompatible positions.
Answer choice (C): While both documents deal with food, they are not both about the same thing in relation to food. One is about procuring food, while the other is about preparing it. To parallel the passages, the documents would need to discuss food in a similar context.
Answer choice (D): Again, as we saw in answer choices (A) and (B), this answer choice is incorrect because it appears that the documents take inconsistent positions.
Answer choice (E): This is the correct answer choice. As with Passage A, the first title relates to broad rules regarding a topic, while the second title indicates a document that would apply those principles to a specific set of circumstances, similar to what we saw in Passage B’s discussion of Native American property rights to property in the United States.
