Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=7465)
The correct answer choice is (B)
Except questions can be time consuming (remember, four of the answers Must Be True and one is
Not Necessarily True) because the only way to confi rm the correct response is to eliminate each
incorrect answer by locating direct supporting information in the passage. Because the question
stem references “criticism of the Hippocratic oath,” you should refer heavily to the fi rst paragraph,
specifi cally lines 13-33.
Answer choice (A): This criticism is mentioned in lines 15-17.
Answer choice (B): This is the correct answer choice. Whether or not the code is identical is not a
specifi c issue raised by the critics cited in the passage.
If you eliminated this response, you may have mistakenly thought it refers to lines 28-33.
Unfortunately, that selection is about the questionable authorship of the oath, and doesn’t specifi cally
imply that those critics believe the oath has been modifi ed.
Answer choice (C): This criticism is cited in lines 24-28.
Answer choice (D): This is the very fi rst criticism, mentioned in lines 13-15.
Answer choice (E): This is the controversial criticism made in lines 17-24.
