Question type
Main Point
The one idea it tests
The main point joins the passage's two big threads, not just one of them.
The basic logic
The opening paragraph usually names both halves of the thesis. The right answer keeps both halves and the payoff.
Tiny words that decide it
  • “also”
  • “both”
  • “while”

Playground logic

The kid passage's point is that Rosa's devotion to her picking style and her wish to show her town fully came together to make songs unlike anyone else's.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 7 in your official copy and answer it first.

Read the first paragraph and note both halves of the thesis. Then check the ending for the payoff. Pick the choice that keeps both halves balanced; cut any that drop one half, flip which half serves which, or make a comparison the passage never makes.
