lsat test4/s1/q15
Q15. M: It is almost impossible to find a person between the ages of 85 an 90 who primarily uses the left hand.
Q: Seventy to ninety years ago, however, children were punished for using their left hands to eat or to write and were forced to use their right hands.
Q's response serves to counter any use by M of the evidence about 85 to 90 year olds in supports of which one of the following hypotheses?
(A) Being born right-handed confers a survival advantage. (B) Societal attitudes toward handedness differ at different times
the answer is A. first, how to understand the question itself. Can we understand the question as “Q’s response will support the following hypotheses”. then “survival advantage” is too extreme in this case. After all, no body who lived 70 to 95 years would be punished to death for insisting using his/her left hand. Following the logic, B is much better.
However, the Q can also be interpreted as “Q’s response counter the following hypotheses, which is used by M”. in this case, A is the right choice.
