Identify two types of question formats you might encounter in the reading section and give a brief approach for each.

• A. Multiple-choice (eliminate incorrect options; identify best answer) and short-answer (provide concise, text-based evidence).
• B. True/false and matching.
• C. Essay and fill-in-the-blank.
• D. Oral response and presentation.

Answer: (A)

Understanding how reading questions are built and how to answer them helps you show what you’ve understood from the text. Two formats you’re likely to encounter are multiple-choice questions and short-answer prompts. For multiple-choice, the key is to use the passage as your guide and narrow options by checking how well each one is supported by the text. Eliminate options that don’t fit or are contradicted by the details, then choose the answer that best matches what the passage actually says. Pay attention to answer choices that restate ideas or paraphrase inaccurately, and favor the option that aligns most tightly with precise evidence from the reading. For short-answer prompts, you’ll respond with a concise text-based answer that directly reflects the passage. Be brief but specific: state the point, and back it up with a short piece of evidence from the text, either quoted or paraphrased, showing exactly where your answer comes from. The goal is to demonstrate clear, text-supported understanding in a compact form. These approaches keep you focused on evidence from the reading and on producing responses that match the task’s format.
