Question type
Inference
The one idea it tests
Critics' complaints reveal what they wanted; flip the complaint to find what would have pleased them.
The basic logic
Reread the critics' first complaint: what did they say the work failed to do? The work they would welcome is one that did that thing.
Tiny words that decide it
  • “prevented”
  • “demanded”

How to apply it

Open Question 15 in your official copy and answer it first.

Locate the critics' complaints near the start. Turn each complaint into a wish: what were they asking the work to accomplish? Pick the choice that grants that wish. Avoid choices that please the creator or the author instead of the critics, and choices that sound related but match no stated complaint.
