Actual exam question from Test Prep's LSAT Section 1 Logical Reasoning
Question #: 104
Topic #: 1
[All LSAT Section 1 Logical Reasoning Questions]

Editorialist: Drivers with a large number of demerit points who additionally have been convicted of a serious driving-related offense should either be sentenced to jail or be forced to receive driver reeducation, since to do otherwise would be to allow a crime to go unpunished. Only if such drivers are likely to be made more responsible drivers should driver re-education be recommended for them. Unfortunately, it is always almost impossible to make drivers with a large number of demerit points more responsible drivers.
If the editorialist's statements are true, they provide the most support for which one of the following?

  • A. Drivers with a large number of demerit points who have been convicted of a serious driving-related offense should be sent to jail.
  • B. Driver re-education offers the best chance of making drivers with a large number of demerit points responsible drivers.
  • C. Driver re-education is not a harsh enough punishment for anyone convicted of a serious driving-related offense who has also accumulated a large number of demerit points.
  • D. Driver re-education should not be recommended for those who have committed no serious driving-related offenses.
  • E. Drivers with a large number of demerit points but no conviction for a serious driving-related offense should receive driver re-education rather than jail.

Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
This one has a formal logic feel to it. There are two possibilities for these violators: they should either get jail or re-education. But re-education works only if it will make them more responsible drivers. In other words, if re-education will work, then it will make them more responsible drivers. However, it is almost impossible for these drivers to become more responsible. What follows? Well, if these drivers wont get more responsible, then reeducation wont work. But then the only option for these drivers is jail. A. says just that.
