Question type

Organization

The one idea it tests

Organization questions check the job of each paragraph, in order.

The basic logic

Label each paragraph's job in one or two words (asks, compares, explains, blames). Then match the choice whose every part fits your labels.

Tiny words that decide it

“question”
“possible”
“case”

Playground logic

Priya's first paragraph asks why kites get no respect. The middle two show that kites really are like drawings, which proves the question is fair. The last one offers a maybe-answer.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 1 (Questions 1–8). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: Why Don't Kites Get a Ribbon? →

Step 3 · Try the model question

Which one of the following best describes how Priya's essay is organized?

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 142, Section 3, Question 8 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 8 in your official copy and answer it first.

Write a two-word job for each paragraph before reading choices. Watch for a question mark early and hedge words like perhaps near the end. Check each choice part by part; one wrong part sinks the whole choice. Choose the one whose every part matches your Paragraph Map.
