LSAT Question Explanation
PT 105, Section 4, Question 12
PrinciplesExplanation
This question asks us to choose a principle in the answer choices that is illustrated by the stimulus. We should try to put these in our own words before moving on to the answers.
My prediction would be something like "people complain about technology but overall it's still beneficial and people prefer the new tech compared to old systems from the past."
Answer choices
This matches the principle in our stimulus. People were complaining about technology, but that doesn't mean they want to revert to how things were in the past.
This is irrelevant. The people in the stimulus were complaining.
The stimulus wasn't talking about how dependent we are on technology, just that people find it preferable to old systems.
The stimulus didn't talk about what is evidence of how important technology is.
This indicates that the stimulus was illustrating relative relationship ("less willing," "more likely to complain"). The stimulus just said that people complain about technology, but they don't want to live in the past without it. We don't know how those things scale relative to one another. This is a common trap answer type on the LSAT.
