Question type
Function
The one idea it tests
A sentence's job comes from the paragraph it lives in and whose voice it carries.
The basic logic
Find the sentence, then ask: whose side is this? In a paragraph that lists one side's advantages, each sentence is usually a helper giving one of those advantages.
Tiny words that decide it
  • “whereas”
  • “also”
  • “argue”
  • “in contrast”

Playground logic

The checklist sentence sits in the paragraph of shop fans' points, so its job is to show one perk the shop has that the club might miss.

This question belongs to Passage 3 (Questions 12–18). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: Two Ways to Fix a Bike →

Your answer

How to apply it

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

Count the sentences in the named paragraph carefully to find the right one. Ask whose voice it carries and what that paragraph is doing overall. If the paragraph lists one side's advantages, the sentence most likely supplies one of them. Choose the job that fits that role and reject answers that pin the author's verdict, or the opposite side's view, on it.
