Inference

The one idea it tests

If someone says a limit never matters because replacements can always be made, they are assuming the replacements never run out.

The basic logic

Combine two claims from the same voice: growth can be endless, and spent resources get replaced. For both to hold, the replacements must keep coming. Check that the answer is about the replacement, not the original resource.

Tiny words that decide it

“if”
“always”
“assume”

Playground logic

The Gang says the club can grow forever and that full treehouses are fixed with cardboard rooms, again and again. That only works if cardboard rooms can be added without end.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 21 in your official copy and answer it first.

Gather every claim the passage gives in that camp's voice and put them side by side. Ask what must be true for all of them to hold together. Prefer the answer that fills that gap. Reject answers that contradict something the camp admits, that state a preference the camp never shows, or that belong to the other camp.
