Reading Comprehension · Weaken

PrepTest 152 · Section 3 · Question 13

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

Step 1 · Pre-Question Guidance · read this first

Question type
Weaken
The one idea it tests
The scholar says familiarity with a category's habits prepares viewers to accept them. Show familiarity makes no difference, and the reply pops.
The basic logic
Isolate the exact claim in the cited sentences: expectations from prior exposure lead to acceptance. The best weakener cuts the link between prior exposure and the experience.
Tiny words that decide it
  • “cue”
  • “prepared”
  • “thus”

Playground logic

Grandpa says players accept dance breaks because they expect them. If brand-new players and old hands react exactly the same, expectation is not doing the work.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 2 (Questions 7–13). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: Grandpa and the Wiggle Race →

Step 3 · Try the model question

Which finding would most damage Grandpa's reply about party games?

Choices

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 152, Section 3, Question 13 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 13 in your official copy and answer it first.

Pin down the scholar's mechanism in the sentences cited: what viewers know ahead of time shapes what they accept. Ask what would show that this prior knowledge does no work. Pick the choice that breaks the link between earlier familiarity and the viewing experience. Choices that leave the mechanism standing do not weaken it.
