Read the first 7 Reading: True/False/Not Given flashcards as text

  1. In True/False/Not Given questions, what does 'Not Given' mean?

    Answer: There is no information in the passage to confirm or contradict it

    'Not Given' means the passage neither confirms nor contradicts the statement.

  2. A statement that directly opposes the meaning of the passage should be marked as:

    Answer: False

    'False' is used when the statement contradicts information in the passage.

  3. What is the key difference between 'False' and 'Not Given'?

    Answer: False contradicts the text; Not Given has no relevant information

    'False' requires a contradiction, while 'Not Given' means the information is absent.

  4. Which approach is most reliable for these questions?

    Answer: Base answers only on what the passage states

    Answers must be based strictly on the passage, not outside knowledge.

  5. If a passage says 'some scientists believe' and the statement says 'all scientists agree', the answer is likely:

    Answer: False

    'Some' contradicts 'all', so the statement is False.

  6. True/False/Not Given questions usually appear in what order relative to the passage?

    Answer: The same order as the information in the text

    The questions generally follow the order of information in the passage.

  7. Why are 'extreme' words like 'never' or 'always' important to notice?

    Answer: They can make a statement False if the text is less absolute

    Absolute words can create a contradiction if the passage is more qualified.
