Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=13369)
The correct answer choice is (A)
This question refers to the last paragraph, in which the author specifies that long term intense training depends upon the requisite interest and desire of the participant.
Answer choice (A): This is the correct answer choice, confirmed by line 59 of the passage.
Answer choice (B): The author does not mention the need for emotional support from other people.
Answer choice (C): Although exceptional performance can be based upon an early interest and desire, the author does not mention appropriate instruction, so this choice is not supported by the passage and should be ruled out of contention.
Answer choice (D): The passage does not mention the need for sufficient leisure time, and this choice does not match the prephrased answer above, so this cannot be the right answer.
Answer choice (E): Although these would seem reasonable requirements, self-discipline and control are not mentioned in the passage as necessary to keep up intense practice, so this choice fails the Fact Test and cannot be correct.
