LNAT inference questions

For inference practice, choose only the conclusion a passage supports. LNAT treats inference as a reading skill, not a named question category.

Which answer is best supported?

Choose B. The increase on nearby roads supports a cautious possibility that some drivers changed route. It does not prove where every driver went.

ChoiceVerdictWhy
ANot supportedThe passage reports bus and car results on one road, not results for most road users.
BBest supportedTraffic rose on nearby roads, so route-changing is possible. The cautious word “may” keeps the claim within the evidence.
CToo certainThe city did not measure smaller residential streets, so “definitely” goes beyond the passage.
DNot supportedA six-week trial cannot establish that a permanent change would have identical effects.

What is an LNAT inference question?

Inference practice asks which conclusion follows from the passage without adding assumptions. LNAT's guide names inference as a reading skill, not a standalone question category.

Where does LNAT mention inference?

The preparation guide lists inference among the abilities the multiple-choice section assesses: can you “accurately identify fact from opinion or inference”?

How long do you get for LNAT Section A?

The current LNAT test-format page gives 95 minutes for all 42 Section A questions. That is an overall allowance, not a required time limit for each passage.

Margin is independent LNAT practice. LNAT did not supply this example, and it does not predict a Section A score.

The extra step, on an unseen passage

The error that costs the mark is adding one step the passage never took, and it looks reasonable every time you make it. 10 of the 83 questions on the practice page are free. Founder access is £25 for the other 73, each with the passage sentence your answer turned on.
