Reading Comprehension · Analogy

PrepTest 104 · Section 2 · Question 5

Phase 1 (your first ~400 questions): read the guidance, then answer. No clock.

Step 1 · Pre-Question Guidance · read this first

Question type
Analogy
The one idea it tests
Match the steps of a process, not its subject.
The basic logic
Strip the process to bare steps: who makes the raw material, how loose the instructions are, and who assembles the final product. The right analogy has the same steps in the same order, even with a totally different subject.
Tiny words that decide it
  • “then”
  • “build”
  • “from”

Playground logic

Nadia's method: give a loose plan, let others make raw clips, then she pieces the best bits into a finished whole. Same steps, any subject.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 1 (Questions 1–6). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: Nadia, Inventor of Recess →

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 5 in your official copy and answer it first.

Reread the paragraph and write the process as three bare steps. Check each choice against all three, in order. Reject choices that match only the loose start, only the improvising, or only the selecting. Keep the one where raw pieces from others get assembled into one finished work.
