Question type

Inference

The one idea it tests

When a passage applies findings about individuals to groups, it assumes groups weigh risk the way individuals do.

The basic logic

Look at the bridge between paragraphs: research about individuals, then a claim about groups. The author must accept that the same feelings carry over.

Tiny words that decide it

“such”
“salient”
“also”

Playground logic

Priya's survey is about single kids and their stickers, yet she uses it to explain whole classes on Field Day. She must think a class weighs its points the way a kid weighs her own stickers.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 4 (Questions 22–26). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: Priya's Sticker Study →

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 24 in your official copy and answer it first.

Notice where the passage shifts from findings about one kind of decision maker to a different kind. Ask what the author must believe for that shift to work. The right answer states that bridge. Discard choices that go beyond what the author's reasoning needs.
