Logical reasoning PrepTest 130 · Section 1 · Question 21

Incorrect. This answer places a limit on free expression—artists don't necessarily have the right to create works of art that some consider depraved.

Incorrect. This answer establishes a right to free expression, but it doesn't bring in that there can be speech that has something wrong with it.

Correct. Argument or Facts:
Facts

Question Type:
Principle (Must Be True)

Stimulus Summary:
Free speech should be absolute, but some speech can still be wrong.

Answer Anticipation:
This principle has two parts to it, so the correct answer should reflect both of them.

First, the correct answer needs to establish an absolute right to free expression. Second, the correct answer needs to highlight that this doesn't mean all speech is okay—there can still be something wrong with speech (if it appeals to "depraved popular tastes" to make a quick buck).

Answer Explanation:
This answer establishes a right to free expression, and it then highlights that certain speech can be wrong if it makes money off of depravity. This answer hits both parts of the principle in the stimulus, so this is the correct answer.

Key Takeaway:
Principle (Must Be True) questions are all about understanding the details in the principle from the stimulus and paying attention to the details in the answer choices.

Incorrect. This answer places restrictions on depraved recordings, so it doesn't align with the principle in the stimulus.

Incorrect. This answer is about those advocating for free speech, not there being an actual right to free speech, so this answer is out of scope.
