LSAT Practice Test

What outcome is expected based on the rise in the price of steel?

1. Car parts will be enhanced

2. Discounts on car parts will increase

3. Discounts on car parts will cease

4. Steel prices will reduce

The correct answer is: Discounts on car parts will cease

When the price of steel rises, it is expected that the cost of producing car parts, which require steel, will also increase. As a result, car manufacturers may not be able to offer discounts on car parts as they may need to offset the higher cost of steel. Therefore, the logical outcome based on the rise in the price of steel would be that discounts on car parts will cease. Option A is incorrect because while the quality of car parts may improve due to the enhanced steel used in their production, the question is specifically asking about discounts, not quality. Option B is incorrect because if the price of steel rises, it is more likely that discounts would decrease or cease rather than increase. Option D is also incorrect because the question is about the expected outcome based on the rise in steel prices, not the reduction of steel prices.
