Now lets turn our attention to Reading-yes No NG. Some of you still are unclear about this section.So I am going to explain it again.PLEASE PAY ATTENTION.
I will take a simple example first and we have already done and then we will move to a more complicated passage
There are 4 Steps in Solving this:
1. Read the question carefully and see if there are some key words.In the 1st Q, the key words are Early Nineties,Central Asia's Steppes and one million.
2.Check the passage if you can find some or all the key words and underline or note them.
You will find all the keywords in the 1st sentence itself.Like 1993, is early nineties.a million and central asia.
Key words means important words.They are generally Names,dates,numbers etc.
3.Now again read the question and understand the whole sentence porperly.Remember that if you dont understand the question then you may get a wrong answer. So understanding the question is more important.
Please do not just focus on words but on the meaning of the complete question.This is a very important stage so dont go ahead until you understand what is written there.
4.Go back to the passage where you got the key words and read it and compare if what is said in the question, matches with the passage.
IF it matches then the answer is YES.
IF it says the opposite of the question, then it is NO.
And if you are confused between YEs and NO then its NOT Given.
Remember that the question and the passage will use different words , so be prepared to identify synonyms or alternate words.
So in the 1st question the answer is YES Because all the information in the question logically matches with the passage.
Now look at the method and explanation for solving the 2nd ques:
Now look for keywords like 97%,Most Dramatic and Mammal.
You see you found it in the 4th line.Now , never feel that you got the answer if you have found the keywords.
Some people do this mistake.as soon as they get the keywords, they write YES without checking the sentences properly.If you decide the answer based on words only then you will have lots of wrong answers.
so never comit this mistake.
Like in this 2nd Q
when I read the Q peoperly ,it says that this decline of 97% is "one of the most dramtic population crashes" (Crashes means Decline- Stock Market Crash)
if you compare it with the Question,it says " MOst Dramatic" and in the passage "One of the most dramatic"
Are both these the Same?
Ofcourse not.
For Example: Mukesh Ambani is one of the richest person in India.Mukesh Ambani is the Rishest person in India.
Are both the sentences same?
NO.
2nd Sentence is saying Specifically that He is on the top of the list of the rich people in India.He is the number 1.
But the 1st sentence is saying that He is in the list of the richest people in India.He could be number 1 or could be 10 or could be 100.In any number.
So did you see that both the sentence do not mean the same thing.
Now dont be in a hurry to think that the answer is NO.
As although both the sentences dont mean the same but the 1st sentence may also mean number 1
Remember I said May(ho sakta Hai)
So its not clear if both the sentence or same or opposite.Since we have a confusion in both.The answer has to Not GIven.
Now remember that Not Given option is very tricky(confusing).You need to ask yourself,What information do I need to make the answer YEs or NO.If you dont get a clear answer then only then the answer would be Not given.
3rd Ques:
Poaching means illegal Killing of Animals.Poachers are those people who kill animals illegally.
1st find the key words like Traditional Medicine,poach, males.
You start getting them in the 5th line.
It says that Traditional medicine uses horns of the males so poachers only kill them.
If you read the sentence in the 5th line, you will notice that this is correct.So the answer is YES.
4th Ques:
Key words:WWF, Rhino, HUnting
you get them in the 7th line.
Now read the ques carefully: It says: because the WWF had encourage people to hunt Saiga(An animal), it has been able to save Rhinos.
Now if we read the 7th line.We get the info that Saiga hunt was encouraged by WWF but there is no information about Saving Rhinos.No where it says that becouse of the encouraging saiga hunt, they could saeve Rhinos.
So this important info is missing.Thats why the answer is NOT GIVEN as we cannot confidently says whether rhinos were saved or not saved.
If somewhere it would have said that Rhinoes were saved then the answer would be Yes.
If somewhere it had said thay Rhinoes where not saved, the answer would be NO.
But both of that info is not given so the asnwer is NOT GIVEN.
HOPE YOU FOLLOWED MY EXPLANATION. IF NOT,PLEASE RE-READ THEM IF STILL YOU DONT GET IT,PLEASE ASK.
Now lets read the following passage:
Solve the above questions using the 4 stages that we saw above.I will share the asnwers and give explanation in 30 mins.DO SOLVE ON YOUR OWN FIRST.
Ques 1:
a.The key words:reasons,arguments,language
b.I find words argument,debate and language in the 1st para.So para 1 is the location where I would try to locate the answer.-Answer area
c.The meaning of the question:
It says that whatever arguments or debates arise about language are all understandble or justified.
d.Now lets go to the answer area and find if that portion gives a similar meaning.
Line2 says.."Language belongs to everyone, so most people feel they have a right to hold an opinion about it"
If you connect this line with line one , then it mean that it is justified or understandable if people agrue about language as it belongs to everyone.
So the Answer is YES.
Is it Clear?
Ques 2:
a.key words: feel,language education,language usage (Note: you may not get the exact word,but keep looking for alternate words)
b. Answer area-We find such words in the end of para 1 and in para2.
c.Understanding the ques-It says that As compared to how language is used(usage) ,people have a stronger feeling(emotions) about language education.
d.Go to the answer area and check.
Last line pf para 1 says there can be arguments in both.But now we need to check about people's feelings.
Last line of para2 says it is easy to feel hurt when language use(usage) is attacked.
That means people feel more emotion when language usage is attacked and not education.
So this just the opposite of the ques.
So the answer is FALSE.
I am sharing the answers of the rest of the questions.Please compare them with your answers and let me know if you would like me to give you an explanation in any of them.
Lets do another one:
I will take a simple example first and we have already done and then we will move to a more complicated passage
There are 4 Steps in Solving this:
1. Read the question carefully and see if there are some key words.In the 1st Q, the key words are Early Nineties,Central Asia's Steppes and one million.

IF it matches then the answer is YES.
IF it says the opposite of the question, then it is NO.
And if you are confused between YEs and NO then its NOT Given.
Remember that the question and the passage will use different words , so be prepared to identify synonyms or alternate words.
So in the 1st question the answer is YES Because all the information in the question logically matches with the passage.
Now look at the method and explanation for solving the 2nd ques:
Now look for keywords like 97%,Most Dramatic and Mammal.
You see you found it in the 4th line.Now , never feel that you got the answer if you have found the keywords.
Some people do this mistake.as soon as they get the keywords, they write YES without checking the sentences properly.If you decide the answer based on words only then you will have lots of wrong answers.
so never comit this mistake.
Like in this 2nd Q
when I read the Q peoperly ,it says that this decline of 97% is "one of the most dramtic population crashes" (Crashes means Decline- Stock Market Crash)
if you compare it with the Question,it says " MOst Dramatic" and in the passage "One of the most dramatic"
Are both these the Same?
Ofcourse not.
For Example: Mukesh Ambani is one of the richest person in India.Mukesh Ambani is the Rishest person in India.
Are both the sentences same?
NO.
2nd Sentence is saying Specifically that He is on the top of the list of the rich people in India.He is the number 1.
But the 1st sentence is saying that He is in the list of the richest people in India.He could be number 1 or could be 10 or could be 100.In any number.
So did you see that both the sentence do not mean the same thing.
Now dont be in a hurry to think that the answer is NO.
As although both the sentences dont mean the same but the 1st sentence may also mean number 1
Remember I said May(ho sakta Hai)
So its not clear if both the sentence or same or opposite.Since we have a confusion in both.The answer has to Not GIven.
Now remember that Not Given option is very tricky(confusing).You need to ask yourself,What information do I need to make the answer YEs or NO.If you dont get a clear answer then only then the answer would be Not given.
3rd Ques:
Poaching means illegal Killing of Animals.Poachers are those people who kill animals illegally.
1st find the key words like Traditional Medicine,poach, males.
You start getting them in the 5th line.
It says that Traditional medicine uses horns of the males so poachers only kill them.
If you read the sentence in the 5th line, you will notice that this is correct.So the answer is YES.
4th Ques:
Key words:WWF, Rhino, HUnting
you get them in the 7th line.
Now read the ques carefully: It says: because the WWF had encourage people to hunt Saiga(An animal), it has been able to save Rhinos.
Now if we read the 7th line.We get the info that Saiga hunt was encouraged by WWF but there is no information about Saving Rhinos.No where it says that becouse of the encouraging saiga hunt, they could saeve Rhinos.
So this important info is missing.Thats why the answer is NOT GIVEN as we cannot confidently says whether rhinos were saved or not saved.
If somewhere it would have said that Rhinoes were saved then the answer would be Yes.
If somewhere it had said thay Rhinoes where not saved, the answer would be NO.
But both of that info is not given so the asnwer is NOT GIVEN.
HOPE YOU FOLLOWED MY EXPLANATION. IF NOT,PLEASE RE-READ THEM IF STILL YOU DONT GET IT,PLEASE ASK.

Is it Clear?
Ques 2:
a.key words: feel,language education,language usage (Note: you may not get the exact word,but keep looking for alternate words)
b. Answer area-We find such words in the end of para 1 and in para2.
c.Understanding the ques-It says that As compared to how language is used(usage) ,people have a stronger feeling(emotions) about language education.
d.Go to the answer area and check.
Last line pf para 1 says there can be arguments in both.But now we need to check about people's feelings.
Last line of para2 says it is easy to feel hurt when language use(usage) is attacked.
That means people feel more emotion when language usage is attacked and not education.
So this just the opposite of the ques.
So the answer is FALSE.
