Question type

Inference (author's view)

The one idea it tests

Predict how one author would react to a label the other author uses.

The basic logic

If author A calls something a mystery and author B reports research that may explain it, B would likely say the mystery label fits less well now.

Tiny words that decide it

“now”
“less”
“before”

Playground logic

Grandpa calls it a riddle. Priya says experts now believe they have the answer. So Priya would say 'riddle' fit better before the tray study.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 1 (Questions 1–7). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: The Second-Crop Riddle →

Step 3 · Try the model question

How would Priya most likely view Grandpa's calling faster second crops a 'riddle'?

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 147, Section 2, Question 6 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 6 in your official copy and answer it first.

Find the label passage A uses for the phenomenon. Then ask: what does passage B's evidence do to that label? Does B solve, deepen, or ignore the puzzle? Match B's likely reaction. Reject choices that put A's ideas in B's mouth or that claim more than B's tone supports.
