Reading Comprehension · Analogy (Comparative)

PrepTest 149 · Section 2 · Question 18

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

Step 1 · Pre-Question Guidance · read this first

Question type
Analogy (Comparative)
The one idea it tests
Match the relationship, not the topic.
The basic logic
Describe the first relationship in plain words (available? used? why not?). Then find the item in the other passage with the same shape.
Tiny words that decide it
  • “most like”
  • “relationship”
  • “rarely”

Playground logic

Fort builders have a form that technically covers them but they almost never use it. In Passage B, the Secret Drawer is the thing that would work but kids almost never use.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 3 (Questions 13–20). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: Forts, Folds, and the Rules Nobody Wrote Down →

Step 3 · Try the model question

The way fort builders relate to the Recess Complaint Form is most like the way fold inventors relate to which one of the following?

Choices

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 149, Section 2, Question 18 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 18 in your official copy and answer it first.

Name the first relationship in a short phrase: what is available, and how does the group treat it? Then scan the other passage for each candidate and describe its relationship the same way. Choose the one whose phrase matches. Beware candidates that are simply unavailable, or that are the informal fix rather than the formal option.
