Question type

Principle

The one idea it tests

A principle under the author's view is the general rule the author's examples rely on.

The basic logic

Find where the author explains why different readers reach different readings. Turn that into a general rule about interpretation.

Tiny words that decide it

“different”
“expectations”
“underlies”

Playground logic

The kid author notes that kids from other schools, with different expectations, see the same games differently. Underneath sits a rule: what you find depends on what you bring.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 2 (Questions 9–16). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: Who Is the Snack Raid Game Really For? →

Step 3 · Try the model question

Which general rule seems to sit beneath the kid author's account of how games get read?

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 115, 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.

Find the sentence where the author explains why readings differ. State the general rule behind it. Pick the choice that matches. Eliminate choices that say only one group or one reading is right, since the author's point runs against that, and choices about creators' intentions that the passage never raises.
