Step 1 · Pre-Question Guidance · read this first

Question type
Attitude
The one idea it tests
Authors can show an attitude through word choice even while sounding neutral.
The basic logic
Find the author's own words about the practice. Words like wrong or unjust signal disapproval, even if never shouted.
Tiny words that decide it
  • “intuitively”
  • “wrong”
  • “unjust”

Playground logic

Ms. Rivera says a giant prize for a tiny deed is way too big and unfair. She never says she hates it outright, but her words show disapproval.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 2 (Questions 8–14). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: How Big Should a Prize Be? →

Step 3 · Try the model question

How does the author seem to feel about giant prizes for tiny deeds?

Choices

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 105, Section 3, 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 paragraph where the author discusses the harsh practice and underline evaluative words. Decide direction first (approve or disapprove), then strength. Eliminate choices that doubt something the author grants, and neutral choices that ignore the loaded words.
