Actual exam question from Test Prep's LSAT Section 1 Logical Reasoning
Question #: 102
Topic #: 1
[All LSAT Section 1 Logical Reasoning Questions]

Parents should not necessarily raise their children in the ways experts recommend, even if some of those experts are themselves parents. After all, parents are the ones who directly experience which methods are successful in raising their own children.
Which one of the following most closely conforms to the principle that the passage above illustrates?

  • A. Although music theory is intrinsically interesting and may be helpful to certain musicians, it does not distinguish good music from bad: that is a matter of taste and not of theory.
  • B. One need not pay much attention to the advice of automotive experts when buying a car if those experts are not interested in the mundane factors that concern the average consumer.
  • C. In deciding the best way to proceed, a climber familiar with a mountain might do well to ignore the advice of mountain climbing experts unfamiliar with that mountain.
  • D. A typical farmer is less likely to know what types of soil are most productive than is someone with an advanced degree in agricultural science.
  • E. Unlike society, one's own conscience speaks with a single voice; it is better to follow the advice of one's own conscience than the advice of society.

Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
The question stem tells us we must locate the principle in the stimulus and then find the choice containing an argument that functions in a similar manner. So this
Principle question has a Parallel Reasoning feel to it. The author of the stimulus says that parents shouldnt always listen to the advice of child-rearing experts
(whoever they are), because parents are the ones with direct experience. So we’re looking for a choice that says "don’t listen to the experts, direct experience is what counts." That’s C., which says don’t listen to mountain climbing experts that don’t know the mountain you are climbing
