Reading Comprehension · Comparative (Detail: both mention)

PrepTest 126 · Section 2 · Question 7

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

Step 1 · Pre-Question Guidance · read this first

Question type
Comparative Detail
The one idea it tests
A both-passages detail answer must be explicitly present in A and also in B.
The basic logic
Make a quick two-column list of the concrete things each passage names. Then test each choice against both columns. Most wrong choices appear in only one passage.
Tiny words that decide it
  • “both”
  • “explicitly”

Playground logic

Ms. Rivera's report mentions the jungle gym crowd shrinking, and Priya's column says the jungle gym crowd is in no danger. Both name that group.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 2 (Questions 7–13). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: The Great Slap-Ball Debate →

Step 3 · Try the model question

Which item is named outright in both kid passages?

Choices

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 126, 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.

For each choice, find it in the first passage, then in the second. Write a check or an X for each passage. Explicitly means named, not merely hinted. Only one choice should earn two checks; the rest are One-Passage Answers that show up on just one side.
