Question type

Answerable Question

The one idea it tests

Only one question is actually answered by words on the page.

The basic logic

For each choice, put your finger on the line that answers it. If you cannot point to one, it is out, no matter how reasonable it sounds.

Tiny words that decide it

“which”
“how long”
“what”

Playground logic

The kid passage tells us exactly whose name gets the red circle, so 'Whose names did the cards circle?' is answerable. How many games the Comets won is never said.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 1 (Questions 1–5). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: The Mystery of the Comets' Cheer Cards →

Step 3 · Try the model question

The kid passage gives enough information to answer which question?

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 121, Section 3, Question 2 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 2 in your official copy and answer it first.

Treat each choice as a mini-quiz. Hunt for the sentence that answers it. Most choices touch the passage's topic but ask for a number, a cause or a comparison the passage never gives. Keep only the one where you can point to a specific line, often a list of examples.
