What's on that LSAT test?

"So... what is on the LSAT test?"


I have a lot of people that have asked me that question, so I thought it would be fun to post an actual LSAT question to show everyone and see what people think.


If you can answer this question correctly and quickly (around 1 and 1/2 minutes to 2 minutes) maybe you should consider law school! Just try!

1.) Any writer whose purpose is personal expression sometimes uses words ambiguously. Every poet's purpose is personal expression. Thus no poetry reader's enjoyment depends on attaining a precise understanding of what the poet means.


The conclusions can be properly inferred if which one of the following is assumed?


(A) Writers who sometimes use words ambiguously have no readers who try to attain a precise understanding of what the writer means.


(B) Writes whose purpose is personal expression are unconcerned with whether anyone enjoys reading their works.


(C) No writer who ever uses words ambiguously has any reader whose enjoyment depends on attaining a precise understanding of what the writer means.


(D) Most writes whose readers' enjoyment does not depend on attaining a precise understanding of the writers' words are poets.


(E) Readers who have a precise understanding of what a writer has written derive their enjoyment from that understanding.


Any answers?? Anyone?
