Question type

Detail

The one idea it tests

A small side remark can hold the answer, so read the exact sentence.

The basic logic

Locate where the passage mentions the place or group in the stem. Often the key fact is tucked into a 'since' or 'especially' clause. Match it carefully, including what it implies about the rest.

Tiny words that decide it

“some”
“overlap”
“especially since”

Playground logic

The kid passage notes that a few kids work both jobs while most stick to one. That side remark is the detail.

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

Based on the kid passage, what do we learn about the school's helpers?

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 104, Section 2, Question 8 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 8 in your official copy and answer it first.

Scan for where the stem's group or place is mentioned, including small clauses tucked into longer sentences. Read that sentence slowly. Predict the plain fact it states. Eliminate choices that compare things the passage never compares or add history it never gives.
