The idea

A well-made turn does not change the subject; it revisits the same terms and reverses them. Reading a volta therefore means checking which earlier words return. The exam's inference questions often rest on exactly that correspondence, and it is visible on the page.

In practice

The same terms, reversed.

Where people slip

Check which earlier words return.
