PrepTest 147 · Section 2 · Question 12

Phase 1 (your first ~400 questions): read the guidance, then answer. No clock.

Step 1 · Pre-Question Guidance · read this first

Question type

Attitude

The one idea it tests

Name how the author feels about the subject's achievements.

The basic logic

Use the Voice Tracker on the author's own word choices: are they warm, cool, or mixed? Then check what the approval is FOR. The right answer praises what the passage praises, without adding drama the passage lacks.

Tiny words that decide it

“unlike”
“most”
“praise”

Playground logic

The writer clearly admires Rosa: her plain style, her mix of fabrics, her range from pillows to a treehouse. Those things set her apart from other quilters.

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 best describes how the writer feels about Aunt Rosa's work?

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 147, Section 2, Question 12 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 12 in your official copy and answer it first.

Circle the author's value words first to get the direction (positive) and strength. Then ask what exactly is being admired. Eliminate choices that add a story the passage never tells (fame, struggles, rivalries, revolutions) even if they sound positive. Choose the one whose praise matches the passage's reasons.
