Question Type
RC analogy
The author describes okapi eating behavior in P3: ”Okapis never eat one plant to the exclusion of others; even where preferred foliage is abundant, okapis will leave much of it uneaten, choosing to move on and sample other leaves.” Let’s look for an answer involving leaving some things uneaten, or sampling various foods. If the LSAT wants a more abstract analogy, then the correct answer doesn’t have to involve eating. It might involve someone leaving something unfinished before moving on to another thing.
The okapi doesn’t eat “all” of one leaf before moving to another.
b
a professor who ████████ ███████ ███ ███████ ██ ███ █████████ █████ ██████████ ██ ██████ ██ ██ ███████ █████████
It’s not clear how following an outline is analogous to leaving foods uneaten or leaving something unfinished before moving on to something else.
c
a student who ██████ ███████ ██ ████████ █████ ███ ████ ███████ ████ ██████ ██ ████████ ██
It’s not clear how delaying work until the last minute is analogous to leaving foods uneaten or leaving something unfinished before moving on to something else.
This is the most analogous, because the reader doesn’t read every story to completion. She leaves a story unfinished and moves on to the next, just as the okapi samples one leaf before moving on to the next.
It’s not clear how hiding during the day and leaving at other times is analogous to leaving foods uneaten before moving on to something else.
