Step 1 · Pre-Question Guidance · read this first

Question type

Inference

The one idea it tests

Find the claim the text backs up best.

The basic logic

Lunchbox Rule: the answer must be backed by the text. Look for repeated details (furniture that meets needs, multi-purpose pieces) that add up to a safe, modest claim.

Tiny words that decide it

“most strongly”
“much”
“as well as”

Playground logic

Rosa's beanbags are cozy to sit in and her treehouse bench is also a toy box. So her later work was made to be used, not just admired.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 2 (Questions 8–14). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: Aunt Rosa, From Inside Out →

Step 3 · Try the model question

Which claim gets the strongest backing from the passage?

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 147, Section 2, Question 10 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 10 in your official copy and answer it first.

Run the Lunchbox Rule on each choice: can you point to lines that back it? Watch for extreme words, for claims about who built or saw things that the passage never covers, and for claims about general attitudes of the era. Pick the modest claim that several details support.
