Answerable Question

The one idea it tests

Find the question the passage gives enough information to answer.

The basic logic

Most choices ask for facts the passage never gives (dates, types, the artist's methods with sites). The right one can be answered by putting two statements together, often a contrast.

Tiny words that decide it

“answer”
“helps”
“similar”

Playground logic

The passage says the old quilting style suited Rosa because she disliked frilly lace. So we can answer whether that old style looked like the frilly style: no.

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

The passage gives enough information to answer which question?

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 147, Section 2, Question 11 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 11 in your official copy and answer it first.

For each choice, try to answer it using only the passage. Point to the line. If you need a date, a list, or a fact about something the passage only touches, cross it out. The right answer may require linking two nearby sentences, such as a preference and a contrast.
