Step 1 · Pre-Question Guidance · read this first

Question type

Inference

The one idea it tests

Connect two separate details: what the subject was known for early on and what the later work depicted.

The basic logic

When a question is about one work, gather every detail about it, then look back for earlier details it matches.

Tiny words that decide it

“like”
“at least some”
“prior”

Playground logic

Nadia's early cakes were praised for perfect animal shapes, and the cake for Grandpa was shaped like his hound. So that cake, like at least some earlier ones, showed an animal.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 3 (Questions 16–22). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: The Crunch Cake →

Step 3 · Try the model question

Which conclusion about the cake for Grandpa does the passage back up best?

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 131, Section 4, Question 21 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 21 in your official copy and answer it first.

List every fact the passage gives about the work named in the question. Then scan earlier paragraphs for any fact it shares with older work. The right choice joins two real details with a modest word like 'some'. Reject choices that guess at motives, reactions or helpers the text never mentions.
