Before we come to the passage let us have a look at how to solve reading comprehension questions.
- Read questions first, then passage- Go through the questions before you read the passage. It helps to locate some answers even in the first reading attempt.
- . Do not give emphasis on the word’s meaning. Instead, emphasis on the meaning of sentences. Sometimes you have to assume the meaning of a word based on the context.
- Do not memorize any point while reading a passage. Once you located your answer, emphasize the part and form your answer.
- . Never lose your patience- Most of the passages may not be understandable at first glance. In every reading comprehension question, there will be two or three questions that can be answered easily. Therefore, be patient to read twice or twice.
- Give importance to the first and last sentences of each paragraph. Because the first and the last sentences give some hinds about answers.
- Search for signal words- Searching for the words from the question paper also can be seen as one way to reach an answer.
