Question type
Inference
The one idea it tests
If something was a reply to a style, you can infer that style had the opposite features.
The basic logic
The passage describes a new style as a response to an older one. Flip the new style's features and you learn what the old one was like. Stay inside the lunchbox: infer only what the contrast supports.
Tiny words that decide it
  • “in reaction”
  • “slowed”
  • “as much as”

Playground logic

The basement club slowed games down and made teamwork matter as a reply to the chase craze Nadia started with. So her early games were fast and built around a star.

How to apply it

Open Question 3 in your official copy and answer it first.

Locate the paragraph that describes the subject's next style as a reaction. List what that next style changed. Flip each change to predict the earlier style. Choose the answer that matches the flip; reject choices that describe the later style or add claims about critics.
