Re: LSAT Questions And Explanations
You want to free download LSAT sample questions with explanations so I have it and I am sharing with you: Question 1 Which one of the following best captures the author’s attitude toward Lichtenstein’s work? (A) enthusiasm for its more rebellious aspects (B) respect for its successful parody of youth and innocence (C) pleasure in its blatant rejection of abstract expressionism (D) admiration for its subtle critique of contemporary culture (E) appreciation for its ability to incorporate both realism and naivete Explanation for Question 1 This question requires the test taker to understand the attitude the author of the passage displays toward Lichtenstein’s work. The correct response is (E). Response (E) most accurately and completely captures the author’s attitude. First, the author’s appreciation for Lichtenstein’s art is indicated by way of contrast with the way in which the author describes what Lichtenstein’s art is not. For example, the author asserts that Lichtenstein’s work “transcended mere parody,“ and that unlike other pop art, it did not display a “jaded cynicism.“ Similarly, the author holds that there is more to Lichtenstein’s work than “the reflective power that parodies possess in relation to their subjects.“ Moreover, the author’s appreciation is reflected in several positive statements regarding Lichtenstein’s work. The author’s appreciation for Lichtenstein’s realism is indicated by the author’s statement that “Beneath its cartoonish methods, his work displayed an impulse toward realism, an urge to say that what was missing from contemporary painting was the de piction of contemporary life.“ That the author also appreciates Lichtenstein’s naivete is demonstrated in this sentence: “Lichtenstein’s work exuded not a jaded cynicism about consumer culture, but a kind of deliberate naivete....“ This idea is further expanded in the next sentence, which says that “for all their surface bravado,“ Lichtenstein’s paintings possess “an inner sweetness.“ It is important to note that these evaluations appear in the last paragraph and form part of the author's conclusion about the importance of Lichtenstein’s art. Response (A) is incorrect because, although in the last sentence of paragraph two the author notes Lichtenstein’s connection to a general rebellion against abstract expressionism, the author also states quite pointedly in the first sentence of paragraph three: “But if rebellion . . . were all that characterized Lichtenstein’s work, it would possess only the reflective power that parodies have....“ For more questions you are free to download attached pdf file. |
