Today we will focus on Multiple Choice questions.
Multiple choice questions test your ability to read for SPECIFIC Information in the passage.
There are different types of multiple Choice quesions.Most common is a question is statement followed by 3 or 4 options is given.
Steps to follow to solve multiple choice questions:
1.Read the questions before you read the passage so you know what you are looking for.
Look for key or important words in the question.
2.Try to locate the words in the passage and determine your answers area, that is, the area where you can find your answers.Otherwise you will be looking for your answers everywhere in the passage.
3.Come back to the question/options and understand them properly.Make sure you understand the meaning of the whole sentences and not just focus on individual words.Otherwise when you find those individual words in the passage, you will believe that you have found the answers.
Remember,the passage will have some distractor words, meaning those words that will make you believe that you have found the answers.Most of the time they try to misguide you.Please be careful here.Thats why understanding whole sentences is important rather than focusing on individual words.
4.Finally, go back to the answer area in the passage and compare each option and reject the wrong ones and conclude the right answer.
It may happen that you get confused between 2 options as right answers.In such case go back to passage and see which option is more incorrect.The remaining answer is the correct one.
Why I say this is because most of the time you will not get the exact answer in the passage.So you have to arrive at an answer which is least wrong.
Options:
A Not true:".. but the primary resource,uranium ore, is available and produced domestically." Moreover 32% is imported and that is not "Almost all".
