LSAT Practice Test

What should you do when you encounter a question mark in a passage?

1. Highlight it

2. Circle it

3. Underline it

4. Box it

The correct answer is: Circle it

When encountering a question mark in a passage, circling it is the most effective way to draw your attention to it for a few reasons. Circling a question mark allows you to easily locate it again when referring back to the passage and serves as a visual cue to remind you that the passage contains a question or an uncertain point. Highlighting may be too broad and could cause you to overlook the question mark specifically. Underlining might not provide enough emphasis, and boxing might be too heavy-handed and cover too much of the surrounding text.
