Reading Comprehension · Inference

PrepTest 121 · Section 3 · Question 3

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

Step 1 · Pre-Question Guidance · read this first

Question type
Inference (author would agree)
The one idea it tests
The right answer is a safe step from what the author lays out, not a big leap.
The basic logic
Combine two pieces of evidence the author gives. Reject anything with 'all,' anything about groups the passage never discusses, and anything the author actually argues against.
Tiny words that decide it
  • “also”
  • “in addition”
  • “all”
  • “solely”

Playground logic

The kid passage has the Comets chanting rival names to shrink them and holding a circle ritual with a lucky hat. Put together, they sought luck by acts as well as by written cards.

How to apply it

Open Question 3 in your official copy and answer it first.

Before reading choices, recall what the author clearly accepts. Then test each choice with the Lunchbox Rule: is every piece of it inside the passage? Watch for extreme words that overreach, groups the passage never studies, and claims the author was setting aside. The winner usually links two details the author presented together.
