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
- skepticism, doubting the scholar ever really proved the disputed point at all
- concern that the scholar's intricate reasoning will lose a general lay audience
- detachment, relaying the scholar's assertion without endorsing or rejecting it
- admiration so unbounded it ranks the scholar above every rival in the field
