Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=14512)
The correct answer choice is (C)
You are asked to describe the passage, and the choices give abstract, general descriptions. Select
the response that adequately refl ects the topic on which the author takes his or her position—the
response should be similar to the main point.
Answer choice (A): The author discusses no strategies, so this choice is wrong.
Answer choice (B): This passage cannot be classifi ed as “comprehensive” because it only provides a
few examples. Comprehensive by defi nition means “of extensive scope and covering much,” and the
typical LSAT passage is too short to adequately provide “comprehensive” coverage of any topic of
signifi cance.
Answer choice (C): This is the correct answer choice. The passage examines some diffi culties in
protecting aboriginal rights. This choice is similar to the main point, which is that the constitutional
language creates some uncertainty in the protection of aboriginal rights.
Answer choice (D): The author does not argue for redefi ning certain rights. You should not conclude
that the last paragraph is such an argument—the author claims that a modern, existing defi nition
should be used, not that a new defi nition should be created.
Answer choice (E): The author mentions diffi culties and even discusses one in detail, but does not
actually explain enough to even correct the “misunderstanding” in line 56-58 of the last paragraph.
