PrepTest 116 · Section 1 · Question 5

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

Step 1 · Pre-Question Guidance · read this first

Question type
Inference about a reported view
The one idea it tests
Track whose claim it is: the question asks about the defenders' reasoning, not the author's.
The basic logic
Find the sentences where the defenders explain how participants benefit. The right answer restates that mechanism; wrong ones borrow the author's or the critics' voice, or add benefits nobody claimed.
Tiny words that decide it
  • “claim”
  • “say”
  • “would therefore”

Playground logic

Priya says walkers trade a cheap walk now for bragging neighbors who pay full price later. That is the defender's story of the benefit.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 1 (Questions 1–7). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: The Paws Pass →

Step 3 · Try the model question

How to apply it

Open Question 5 in your official copy and answer it first.

Use your Voice Tracker: locate the defenders' sentences, not the author's. Restate their benefit chain in your own words. Choose the choice that matches that chain. Eliminate choices that come from the critics or the author, or that add a gain the defenders never describe.
