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

  1. The passage states an event happened in 1990; the statement says 1995. The answer is:

    Answer: False

    A wrong date contradicts the passage, making it False.

  2. In Yes/No/Not Given questions (a related task), the focus is usually on:

    Answer: The writer's opinions or claims

    Yes/No/Not Given typically tests the writer's views rather than facts.

  3. If a statement combines two true facts but links them with a false cause, the answer is:

    Answer: False

    A false causal link contradicts the passage, so it is False.

  4. Why is reading the statement carefully important?

    Answer: Because one word can change the entire meaning

    A single qualifier or negative can flip the correct answer.

  5. The passage gives no opinion, but the statement claims the author 'prefers' something. The answer is:

    Answer: Not Given

    If the author's preference is never stated, the information is Not Given.

  6. Which of these is NOT a recommended technique?

    Answer: Using outside knowledge to decide

    Using outside knowledge is discouraged; answers must come from the text.

  7. What should you do if two answers seem possible between False and Not Given?

    Answer: Check if the text actually contradicts the statement

    If there is a genuine contradiction it is False; otherwise Not Given.
