Question type

Inference

The one idea it tests

When a subject attacks a view for assuming something, the subject believes the opposite.

The basic logic

Track Nadia's voice, not the author's. Find what she says the opposing view wrongly assumes about the audience, then flip it.

Tiny words that decide it

“assumes”
“only”
“capable”

Playground logic

Nadia says the fenced-yard view wrongly assumes readers can only see from where they stand. So she thinks readers can see from other people's spots too.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 3 (Questions 14–21). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: Nadia's Attic Hero →

Step 3 · Try the model question

Which view about readers does Nadia seem to hold?

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 113, Section 1, Question 19 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 19 in your official copy and answer it first.

Find the subject's reply, and isolate what it says the opposing view assumes about audiences. The subject's own belief is the reverse of that assumption. Choose the answer that states it modestly. Discard choices that repeat the rejected view or invent claims the subject never makes.
