Information and Ideas · ~26% of Reading & Writing
75+ free practice questions, every answer explained.
Inferences gives you a passage ending in a blank, usually after a phrase like "therefore" or "this suggests that", and asks which choice most logically completes it. The answer is not stated in the passage, but it must follow from the passage alone.
Read to the blank and finish the thought yourself before looking at the choices. Then apply one test to each choice: could this be false while everything in the passage is true? If yes, it is not the inference. The correct answer is usually the most cautious of the four, because it is the only one the text fully guarantees.
Bringing in outside knowledge, or reaching further than the text allows. The tempting wrong answer is the one that is probably true in the real world; the right one is the one the passage makes unavoidable. Strong words — always, proves, all, never — are usually a sign a choice has overreached.
In a controlled taste test, participants rated an unfamiliar fruit more favorably when it was labeled with an appealing, invented name than when the identical fruit was labeled with its actual, scientific-sounding name.
Which choice most logically completes the text?
Answer: B. Since the fruit was identical in both conditions but ratings differed based only on the name used, this implies the label/framing itself influenced perceived taste—matching choice B. Choice D is directly contradicted since the fruit was identical yet rated differently.
