โœ๏ธ Sample LNAT Questions & Answers

1. Two companies sign a contract, but one party was mistaken about a fundamental fact that the other party knew about. Which legal doctrine might void the contract?
โœ“ Operative unilateral mistake

When one party contracts under a fundamental mistake known to the other, the courts may treat the contract as void for operative unilateral mistake.

2. In the context of the LNAT, which of the following best characterises a 'principle' in an argument?
โœ“ A general rule or value that, if accepted, supports the conclusion in the specific case

A principle is a broad normative or logical rule that bridges general values to specific conclusions.

3. 'Since the defendant cannot explain where he was that night, he must be guilty.' What assumption does this argument make?
โœ“ Innocent people are always able to account fully for their whereabouts

The argument assumes that an innocent person would always have an explanation for their whereabouts, making inability to explain equivalent to evidence of guilt.

4. In a murder trial, the defendant claims he acted in self-defense. The jury believes his account may be true. What verdict must they return?
โœ“ Not guilty, because reasonable doubt exists

Where self-defense raises a reasonable doubt about guilt, the prosecution has failed to disprove it and the defendant must be acquitted.

5. A scientist argues: 'This drug worked in 90% of trials, so it will work for this patient.' The weakest part of this inference is:
โœ“ Population-level statistics may not predict outcomes for a specific individual

Statistical averages describe groups; applying them to individuals commits the ecological fallacy.

6. When an LNAT essay prompt presents an extreme position (e.g., 'The law should never interfere with personal choices'), the most sophisticated response is to:
โœ“ Examine whether a more nuanced position (e.g., law may intervene only to prevent harm to others) better withstands scrutiny

Extreme prompts are designed to invite nuanced engagement; wholesale agreement or rejection usually misses the complexity.
