Question type

Analogy

The one idea it tests

Match the shape of an argument, not its topic: the same type of evidence that supports one side also supports another.

The basic logic

Boil the paragraph down: evidence of kind X is used for view 1, but other evidence of kind X points to view 2. The right analogy keeps the same kind of evidence on both sides and uses it to suggest, not prove, a rival.

Tiny words that decide it

“but”
“other”
“may suggest”

Playground logic

In the kid passage, the second paragraph says watching other schools helps the game view, but watching other schools also hints at a different reason.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 3 (Questions 15–22). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: The Bald Spots on the Big Field →

Step 3 · Try the model question

Which reasoning is most like paragraph two of the kid passage?

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 147, Section 2, Question 22 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 22 in your official copy and answer it first.

Write the paragraph's skeleton in abstract terms: one kind of evidence backs a view, but more of that same kind hints at another. Test each choice against that skeleton. The right one keeps the evidence type identical on both sides and only suggests the rival. Drop choices that switch evidence types or claim proof.
