Question type

Function

The one idea it tests

Ask why the example is there, and whose point it serves.

The basic logic

Note who introduces the example and what claim comes right before it. The example illustrates that claim.

Tiny words that decide it

“for example”
“might”
“except”

Playground logic

Marcus brings up the cooking club to show his claim: we can only spot brain power by leaning on the group's habits.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 2 (Questions 9–14). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: Brain Power vs. Badge Power →

Step 3 · Try the model question

Why does the passage mention the cooking club?

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 114, Section 3, Question 13 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 13 in your official copy and answer it first.

Use the Voice Tracker: the example sits in a paragraph that speaks for the critics. Read the claim just before it. The example illustrates that claim. Eliminate choices that tie it to the wrong voice or the wrong paragraph. Then check that your pick describes a purpose (to illustrate, to support), not just a topic.
