[All LSAT Section 1 Logical Reasoning Questions]

Franklin: It is inconsistent to pay sports celebrities ten times what Nobel laureates are paid. Both have rare talents and work hard.
Tomeka: What you've neglected to consider is that unlike Nobel laureates, sports celebrities earn millions of dollars for their employers in the form of gate receipts and TV rights.
Franklin's and Tomeka's statements provide the most support for holding that they disagree about the truth of which one of the following?

  • A. Nobel laureates should be taken more seriously.
  • B. Nobel laureates should be paid more than sports celebrities.
  • C. Sports celebrities and Nobel laureates work equally hard for their employers.
  • D. There is no rational basis for the salary difference between sports celebrities and Nobel laureates.
  • E. The social contributions made by sports celebrities should be greater than they currently are.

Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
The stem tells us to find the point at issue here. Franklin says that it doesnt make sense to pay sports celebrities more than Nobel laureates. Tomeka points out a relevant distinction: sports stars earn lots of cash for their employers in ways that laureates cant. So Tomeka suggests a line of reasoning for paying the sports stars more, whereas Franklin says there is no rational basis for doing so. D. captures this dispute.
