Most Supported Inference

Overview

Most Supported questions ask for the answer best supported by the passage — not necessarily proven with certainty. Slightly weaker standard than Must Be True.

1.Look for the answer most directly supported by the text
2.Weaker/hedged language ("some," "can," "may") is often correct
3.Combine multiple pieces of information from the stimulus
4.Avoid answers requiring outside knowledge
Market research shows that consumers prefer products with eco-friendly packaging. However, eco-friendly packaging costs 30% more to produce.

Which is most strongly supported?

Answer B: The most supported inference is that there's a tension between consumer preferences and production costs — not that companies should or shouldn't switch.
✗Choosing answers too strong for the evidence
✗Picking answers about what "should" happen
✗Selecting answers requiring assumptions beyond the text
