Question type

Inference (apply the author's test)

The one idea it tests

Turn the author's reasons into a checklist, then run each group through it.

The basic logic

The author says a real group of this kind needs certain features and the new alternative lacks them. The group the author would LEAST likely accept is the one that fails the checklist the same way the alternative does: members gathered by a shared interest rather than a shared setting and daily need.

Tiny words that decide it

“LEAST”
“likely”
“on the basis of”

Playground logic

Lulu's checklist: same place, kids who need each other, and kids who did not pick each other. A group that only gathers because of one shared hobby fails her test, just like the sticker club.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 1 (Questions 1–6). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: Lulu's Newsletter Column: Can a Club Replace Homeroom? →

Step 3 · Try the model question

Going by the column, which group would Lulu be LEAST inclined to call a true homeroom-style team?

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 112, Section 2, Question 2 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 2 in your official copy and answer it first.

List the features the author says a real group needs and the reasons the alternative falls short. Then test each choice: does the group share a setting, depend on one another, and include people who did not select each other? Note the LEAST in the stem: you want the group that fails the test just as the author's target does.
