Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=14297)
The correct answer choice is (B)
Attack general Must Be True Except questions by the process of elimination: four of the five
answer choices can be proven with the information contained in the passage. Passage organization
is key. The categories of expense eliminated by the digital publishing model are listed in the second
paragraph of the passage (lines 16-20), which can be used to quickly eliminate four of the five
answer choices.
Answer choice (A): The second paragraph (line 18) clearly suggests that booksellers will no longer
need to warehouse printed books. This answer choice can be proven with the information contained
in the passage and is therefore incorrect.
Answer choice (B): This is the correct answer choice. Under the digital publishing model, consumers
will have their books printed and bound on demand, which presumably includes a book cover.
Designing such covers is not something digital publishing is likely to dispense with.
Answer choice (C): The digital publication of books at point of sale eliminates the need to have them
shipped to wholesalers and to retail stores (lines 17-18). This answer choice is incorrect.
Answer choice (D): The second paragraph proves that the new publishing model will dispense with
the need to have unsold books returned to publishers (line 20). This answer choice is incorrect.
Answer choice (E): As with answer choices (A), (C), and (D), this answer choice can also be proven
with the information contained in the second paragraph of the passage (lines 19-20).
