LSAT Practice Test

Which one of the following, if true, would most effectively resolve the apparent paradox above?

1. Assumption

2. Resolve

3. Conclusion

4. Critique

The correct answer is: Resolve

The apparent paradox in a question suggests that there is a contradiction or inconsistency that needs to be resolved. In this case, the question is asking for the answer choice that would most effectively resolve the paradox presented. Choice A, assumption, is not the best answer because it does not directly address the paradox or provide a resolution to the apparent contradiction. Choice C, conclusion, is also not the best answer as it refers to a final deduction or inference, which is not necessarily what is needed to resolve the paradox. Choice D, critique, is not the best answer as it focuses on evaluating or analyzing the argument rather than resolving the paradox. Choice B, resolve, is the correct answer as it directly addresses the need to resolve the paradox by providing information or a statement that would effectively reconcile the apparent contradiction.
