Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=13653)
The correct answer choice is (B)
This Global Reference question requires a broad understanding of the author’s perspective, but prephrasing with any precision can in many cases be quite difficult.
Answer choice (A): The author does not make this judgment, but rather says that laypeople would tend to be less supportive of such activities.
Answer choice (B): This is the correct answer choice. The author says that the opinion regarding air travel is that the risk of a plane crash is taken on involuntarily.
Answer choice (C): The author neither makes nor provides basis for such a comparison, so this choice fails the Fact Test.
Answer choice (D): The author provides the asteroid scenario as an example of involuntary risk, since no choice is involved, but says that almost every risk involves some degree of choice.
Answer choice (E): The author mentions asteroids as an example of involuntary risk but does not say that natural disasters are the main type of involuntary risk (note that people make choices regarding where they want to live and work).
