PrepTest 115 · Section 3 · Question 3

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

Step 1 · Pre-Question Guidance · read this first

Question type
Attitude
The one idea it tests
The author's warmest words point to what the author values most.
The basic logic
Hunt for praise words and for the paragraph the author saves for last. Ask which feature gets explained and admired, not just listed.
Tiny words that decide it
  • “most”
  • “learned to”
  • “praise”

Playground logic

The kid author lists flavors and colors, but the praise lands on how the cooks shaped their cooking to fit giant pots and a long line. That is the value marker.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 1 (Questions 1–8). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: The Big Pot Cooks of Maple Street School →

Step 3 · Try the model question

Which aspect of the cooks' work does the author of the kid passage seem to value most?

Choices

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 3 in your official copy and answer it first.

Skim for value words (praise, respect, admiration) and for which feature the author explains at length. Use the Voice Tracker: make sure the value belongs to the author, not the sponsor or the artists. Choose the feature with the strongest author approval, and drop features that are only mentioned in passing.
