Question type

Inference

The one idea it tests

Chain two stated facts that share a common cause: when one rises, so does the other.

The basic logic

Find a factor the passage says raises two different risks at once. Then the two risks tend to rise together. Check that the answer is not stronger than the text.

Tiny words that decide it

“the more”
“tends to”
“as”

Playground logic

The kid passage says more copying makes cards blurrier and also lets hint-notes blend in more easily. So a card more open to hint-notes also tends to have more blur.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 4 (Questions 20–27). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: Grandpa's Recipe Card →

Step 3 · Try the model question

What can we safely conclude from the kid passage?

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 121, Section 2, Question 27 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 27 in your official copy and answer it first.

Look for a sentence where one factor pushes two things in the same direction. Ask what follows when you connect them: if both rise with the same factor, they tend to rise together. Choose the answer that makes only that modest link. Cross off choices that use absolute words the passage does not support or that contradict a stated process.
