Question type

Inference

The one idea it tests

A contrast with what 'others often did' tells you something about the others.

The basic logic

When the author says one group failed to do what similar groups often did, you can infer those other groups often did it. Stay modest: 'many', not 'most' or 'all'.

Tiny words that decide it

“as other”
“often”
“might expect”

Playground logic

The kid passage says you might expect the helper clubs to punish cheaters the way the chess club does. So at least some clubs do control their members' behavior.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 2 (Questions 7–14). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: The Helpers Who Never Told →

Step 3 · Try the model question

What can be inferred from the kid passage about school clubs in general?

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 104, Section 2, Question 13 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 13 in your official copy and answer it first.

Find the sentence where the author sets up an expectation by comparing to other groups. Ask what that comparison assumes about those groups. Predict a modest statement. Reject choices that turn 'often' into 'most', that reverse the comparison, or that add unmentioned variation.
