Question type

Detail

The one idea it tests

In an EXCEPT detail question, four choices are in one voice's account; one is not.

The basic logic

Go to the voice's description and list its parts. Check each choice against the list. The odd one out is often a pleasant-sounding outcome that no line supports, or an idea from a different voice.

Tiny words that decide it

“EXCEPT”
“all”
“only”
“two”

Open Question 13 in your official copy and answer it first.

List each part of the named voice's account from the passage. Tick each choice that matches a part. The survivor with no tick is the answer. Be extra careful with choices that sound like a nice ending or that bring in a force the named voice never discusses.
