Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=7427)
CR, Must. The correct answer choice is (B)
This Concept Reference question asks what some countries did with the UNESCO doctrine. An
awareness of the structure of the passage would quickly lead you to the end of the second paragraph,
where the author provides that “a number of countries have strengthened the UNESCO doctrine by
declaring all antiquities that originate within their borders to be state property that cannot be freely
exported.”
Answer choice (A): This choice seems like a “could be true,” but it does not match the prephrase
above and should be ruled out of contention.
Answer choice (B): This is the correct answer choice, as it perfectly matches the prephrased
answer discussed above.
Answer choice (C): This choice refers to the author’s suggestion in the final paragraph, but this is not
how countries made use of the UNESCO doctrine as discussed.
Answer choice (D): This passage has nothing to do with encouraging trade between countries that
contain portions of a culture’s ancient territory, so this choice can be quickly ruled out of contention
in response to this Must Be True question.
Answer choice (E): The passage says nothing about other countries’ committing substantial
resources in this manner, and this is not how countries have made use of the UNESCO doctrine.
