PrepTest 135 - Section 4 - Question 17

Show analysis

Watching music videos from the 1970s would give the viewer the impression that the music of the time was dominated by synthesizer pop and punk rock. ███ ████ █████ ██ █ ██████████ ███████████ ███████ █████ ██████ ████ █ ███ ███ ████ ██ ███ █████ ████ █████████ █████████ ████████████ ██████████

Unrepresentative Samples

This argument identifies a particular sample ('70s music videos) as unrepresentative (skewed toward cutting-edge musicians) and therefore likely to give a misleading impression of the broader category (music of the '70s). That's the template you should bring into the answer choices.

Reasoning of this kind is common on the LSAT, and you should absolutely aspire to proactively recognize it when it appears.
