Reading Comprehension · Inference

PrepTest 113 · Section 1 · Question 4

Phase 1 (your first ~400 questions): read the guidance, then answer. No clock.

Step 1 · Pre-Question Guidance · read this first

Question type
Inference (logical continuation)
The one idea it tests
The best added sentence continues the last paragraph's thread in the author's own voice.
The basic logic
Find the final idea the paragraph ends on, then look for the sentence that extends or illustrates that exact idea. Reject sentences that change topic, flip the author's view, or bring in brand-new claims.
Tiny words that decide it
  • “each”
  • “essential”
  • “only then”

Playground logic

The club story ends on the idea that every member's worry must get a real hearing. A good next sentence would stretch that same idea, maybe with a comparison.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 1 (Questions 1–7). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: The Treehouse Club's Everybody-Agrees Rule →

Step 3 · Try the model question

Which sentence would most naturally be added at the very end of the club story?

Choices

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 113, Section 1, Question 4 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 4 in your official copy and answer it first.

Read the final two or three sentences closely and name the exact idea they end on. Keep the author's direction in mind. Test each choice: does it continue that idea in the same voice? Cut choices that shift topic, reverse the author, or add facts the passage never prepares.
