Question type

Detail EXCEPT

The one idea it tests

Four choices are stated in the passage; the right one is the feature the passage never gives.

The basic logic

Treat it as a checklist. Find each choice in the text and cross it off. The survivor is either missing or clashes with what the passage says.

Tiny words that decide it

“NOT”
“cited”
“each”

The kid passage mentions each of these about the Quiet Corner Club EXCEPT:

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 152, Section 3, Question 2 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

Open Question 2 in your official copy and answer it first.

Go through the choices one at a time and point to the line that supports each. Cross out every one you can find. Watch for a choice that not only is missing but quietly clashes with the picture the passage paints. That leftover is your answer.
