LSAT Practice Test

Which one of the following, if true, does NOT help to resolve the apparent discrepancy between the safety report and the city's public safety record?

1. Resolve Y

2. Resolve X

3. Weaken X

4. Weakening Y

The correct answer is: Resolve X

In this question, we are asked to identify which statement does NOT help to resolve the apparent discrepancy between the safety report and the city's public safety record. The correct answer is B because if a statement resolves X, it would actually contribute to reconciling the difference between the safety report and the city's public safety record. Therefore, option B is not the answer we are looking for in this case. Options A, C, and D all either resolve or weaken one of the factors contributing to the discrepancy. So, they would be considered helpful in addressing the discrepancy.
