Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=14542)
The correct answer choice is (C)
The question stem asks which of the answer choices would be the best continuation of the last
paragraph. These questions can be among the most confusing in the Reading Comprehension
sections of the LSAT, but if one understands the paragraph and the overall flow of the passage, the
right answer might be more obvious.
The last paragraph discusses the role of the individual viewer in the model of cultural relationships.
The correct answer choice will likely continue along this theme.
Answer choice (A): The degree to which cultural relationships can be described by an abstract model
is not a focus in the passage, and this would not be a likely continuation to the final paragraph.
Answer choice (B): The author suggests considerations relevant to developing a new perspective, but
the focus, especially toward the end of the passage, is not on ensuring the overturn of the dominant
view.
Answer choice (C): This is the correct answer choice. The inclusion of this aspect in the study
is essential for the study to be accurate—this is a logical continuation of the ideas from the last
paragraph.
Answer choice (D): This is not the focus toward the end of the passage, and there is no reference to
communications specialists’ cravings for scientific credibility. It is the author who believes that the
consensus perspective lacks empirical foundation.
Answer choice (E): Because neither the last paragraph nor the passage as a whole focuses on the
economic relationship between cultures, this answer choice is incorrect.
