easy · LSAT Reading Comprehension
In discussing a long-standing belief about the period, the author of a passage writes that a particular legal scholar demonstrates that this common historical assumption is false.
The author's use of the word "demonstrates" most strongly suggests that the author's attitude toward the scholar's work is one of
- endorsement, treating the scholar as having genuinely established the point
- doubt that the scholar managed to prove the point at all
- concern that the scholar's reasoning is too intricate for a lay audience
- detachment, merely relaying the scholar's assertion without taking a side
- outright admiration that elevates the scholar above all others in the field
