Not just the right letter: how to get there, and why the tempting answer is wrong.

MathProblem-Solving and Data AnalysisHard

A store raises the price of a jacket by 20%. Later, it lowers the new price by 20%. The final price is what percent of the original price?

A80%
B96%Correct
C100%The trap
D104%

Check with $100: $100then$120then$96

  1. Turn each change into a multiplier.

    Up 20% means × 1.20. Down 20% means × 0.80.

  2. Apply them in order.

    1.20 × 0.80 = 0.96

  3. Read the answer.

    The final price is 96% of the original. That’s B.

  4. Why not 100%?

    The 20% cut is taken from the higher price, so it removes more than the 20% increase added.

Paired Passages · Lesson 2

Name how the two passages relate

Questions about both passages ask how the two texts fit together. Before you look at the choices, put the relationship into one plain sentence: "B agrees with A but adds...", "B disagrees with A about...", and so on.

Most pairs fall into one of four patterns. Two authors rarely disagree about everything; often, Passage B accepts part of Passage A and pushes back on the rest. Look for a sentence that grants a point ("I agree that...", "Honeybees deserve their reputation, but...") followed by a turn.

Questions on both passages come in a few common forms: what both authors would agree on, how one passage relates to the other, what one passage discusses that the other does not, and how a detail in one passage affects an idea in the other. For an "agree" question, the right answer must be supported by a line in each passage. For a "unlike Passage A" question, check that the other passage really leaves the idea out.

Four ways paired passages relate
RelationshipWhat Passage B doesSignal words
AgreeMakes the same main point, often with new supportsimilarly, also, as others have found
DisagreeRejects the main point of Passage Awrong, mistake, I don't accept
QualifyAccepts part of Passage A but limits or complicates itI agree that... but, not the only, none of this means
ExtendTakes Passage A's point somewhere new, such as a fix or a wider casebeyond this, what this means for, a further step

Worked example Medium

Passage A

Each spring, beekeepers in many farming regions load thousands of hives onto trucks and drive them to orchards in bloom. Almond, apple, and cherry trees all need insects to carry pollen from flower to flower before they can set fruit, and the honeybee has become the farmer's preferred partner. A single hive holds tens of thousands of workers, and the colony can be moved wherever and whenever growers need it.

This flexibility is the honeybee's great advantage. Wild insects cannot be scheduled; a cold, wet spring may leave an orchard with few of them just when the blossoms open. Honeybees, by contrast, arrive on a contract. For a grower with hundreds of acres of trees that all flower in the same two weeks, that reliability is hard to give up.

Passage B

Honeybees deserve their reputation, but they are not the only workers in the orchard. Bumblebees, mason bees, and dozens of other wild species visit the same blossoms, and some of them are better at the job. Mason bees, for example, carry pollen loosely on the underside of their bodies, so more of it rubs off on each flower they visit. Bumblebees will fly in cool, cloudy weather that keeps honeybees inside the hive.

None of this means growers should send the trucks away. Wild bees cannot be ordered in, and their numbers rise and fall from year to year. But farms that leave strips of wildflowers and patches of bare ground for nesting often find that wild bees add to the work the rented hives do. The most dependable orchard, in other words, may be the one that does not depend on a single kind of bee.

Which statement would the authors of both passages most likely agree with?

  1. Wild bees pollinate orchard blossoms better than honeybees do.
  2. Growers should stop renting honeybee hives from beekeepers.
  3. Honeybees can be scheduled for an orchard, but wild bees cannot.Answer
  4. Cold, wet weather has little effect on the pollinators in an orchard.

How to solve it

  1. An "agree" answer needs support in both passages. Test each choice against A, then against B.
  2. Choices A and B fail in Passage A (it prefers honeybees), and B fails in Passage B too ("None of this means growers should send the trucks away").
  3. Choice C is in both: "Wild insects cannot be scheduled" (A) and "Wild bees cannot be ordered in" (B). Choice D is contradicted by both.

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Incorrect. Only Passage B says some wild species are better at the job, and even it says "some," not all; Passage A calls the honeybee the "preferred partner."
  • B. Incorrect. Neither author wants growers to stop renting hives; Passage B says outright, "None of this means growers should send the trucks away."
  • C. Correct. Passage A says, "Wild insects cannot be scheduled," while a colony "can be moved wherever and whenever growers need it." Passage B agrees: "Wild bees cannot be ordered in."
  • D. Incorrect. Both passages say weather does affect pollinators: Passage A mentions a "cold, wet spring," and Passage B says cloudy weather keeps honeybees inside.

Worked example Hard

Passage A

Each spring, beekeepers in many farming regions load thousands of hives onto trucks and drive them to orchards in bloom. Almond, apple, and cherry trees all need insects to carry pollen from flower to flower before they can set fruit, and the honeybee has become the farmer's preferred partner. A single hive holds tens of thousands of workers, and the colony can be moved wherever and whenever growers need it.

This flexibility is the honeybee's great advantage. Wild insects cannot be scheduled; a cold, wet spring may leave an orchard with few of them just when the blossoms open. Honeybees, by contrast, arrive on a contract. For a grower with hundreds of acres of trees that all flower in the same two weeks, that reliability is hard to give up.

Passage B

Honeybees deserve their reputation, but they are not the only workers in the orchard. Bumblebees, mason bees, and dozens of other wild species visit the same blossoms, and some of them are better at the job. Mason bees, for example, carry pollen loosely on the underside of their bodies, so more of it rubs off on each flower they visit. Bumblebees will fly in cool, cloudy weather that keeps honeybees inside the hive.

None of this means growers should send the trucks away. Wild bees cannot be ordered in, and their numbers rise and fall from year to year. But farms that leave strips of wildflowers and patches of bare ground for nesting often find that wild bees add to the work the rented hives do. The most dependable orchard, in other words, may be the one that does not depend on a single kind of bee.

Which choice best describes how Passage B relates to Passage A?

  1. It rejects Passage A's claim that honeybees are reliable and urges growers to depend on wild bees instead.
  2. It accepts that honeybees are valuable but argues that wild bees can add to the work rented hives do.Answer
  3. It supports Passage A's argument with new evidence that honeybees outperform every other species.
  4. It traces the history of commercial beekeeping that led to the trucking practice Passage A describes.

How to solve it

  1. Find Passage B's turn. It opens by granting a point ("Honeybees deserve their reputation, but...") and later says "None of this means growers should send the trucks away."
  2. So B neither rejects nor simply repeats A. It accepts A's point and adds a limit: honeybees are not the only workers. That is the "qualify" pattern.
  3. Choice A is the tempting one, because B praises wild bees. But B keeps the rented hives, so "instead" is too strong. Choice B matches.

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Incorrect. Passage B does not reject the honeybee; it says "Honeybees deserve their reputation" and that growers should not "send the trucks away." It also warns against depending on "a single kind of bee," wild or not.
  • B. Correct. Passage B grants the point ("Honeybees deserve their reputation") and then qualifies it: farms that support wild bees "often find that wild bees add to the work the rented hives do."
  • C. Incorrect. Passage B says the opposite of outperform every other species: some wild species "are better at the job."
  • D. Incorrect. Passage B contains no history of beekeeping; it discusses wild species, how they carry pollen, and how farms can support them.

Trap Turning "qualify" into "disagree"

When Passage B pushes back, it is tempting to pick the choice that says B rejects or refutes A. Check for a sentence where B grants something to A. If B says "I agree that..." or "None of this means...", a choice that says B rejects A completely is too strong.

Trap An "agree" answer that only one passage supports

A choice can be stated clearly in one passage and never mentioned in the other. That is not agreement. For "both authors would agree" questions, find a supporting line in Passage A and a supporting line in Passage B, or at least make sure neither passage contradicts the choice and both point toward it.
