Step 1 · Pre-Question Guidance · read this first

Question type
Analogy
The one idea it tests
Match the shape of the story: a shared start, a new place, and blending in what the new place offers
The basic logic
Strip the passage's story down to a skeleton, then find the choice with the same skeleton in a different setting
Tiny words that decide it
  • “originally”
  • “after”
  • “cannot help”

Playground logic

Riverside started with the same rulebook, moved to its own building, and over time mixed in habits from the games around it. The skeleton is: same roots, new home, blend in the local stuff.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 2 (Questions 6–12). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: Two Chess Clubs, One Rulebook →

Choices

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 121, Section 2, Question 7 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 7 in your official copy and answer it first.

Write the passage's development as a short skeleton: what it started with, where it went, what it absorbed. Test each choice against every piece of the skeleton. The right one keeps the original base and adds outside elements after a move. Cut choices that only match one piece, such as a move without blending.
