Question type

Analogy

The one idea it tests

Analogy questions want the same structure in a new setting: here, a story built through two people talking.

The basic logic

Strip the work's approach down to its bones: who is involved, what they do together, and what results. Then find the choice with the same bones, even if the subject is totally different. Ignore surface matches in topic.

Tiny words that decide it

“together”
“each”
“only as”

Playground logic

Owen's approach: he and his subject talk back and forth, and the life story takes shape through that exchange.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 2 (Questions 8–14). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: Gus, Speaking for Himself (Nadia reviews Owen's project) →

Step 3 · Try the model question

Whose approach is most like Owen's?

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 137, Section 1, Question 13 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 13 in your official copy and answer it first.

Summarize the approach in abstract terms: who works with whom, and how the result emerges. Test each choice for that same skeleton. The right one keeps the relationship and the process, not the topic. Discard choices that share the subject area but lose the back-and-forth.
