Don’t Waste Time Trying to Make Sense of Answer Choices That Don’t Work
If an answer doesn’t make sense move on to the next choice.
Always Consider Each and Every Answer Choice
The difference between the best and second-best answer can be subtle.
Eliminate Any Choice That’s Too Vague or Too Specific for the Passage as a Whole
Keep in mind that you might need to determine the best choice based on nuanced
meanings.
Don’t Choose Any Answer Just Because It Contains a Difficult Word
By the same token, don’t rule it out for this reason. If you don’t know what a word means,
try to guess based on the word’s prefix or root, how the word “sounds,” or even your gut
instinct.
Decide Between Viable Choices by Checking for Idiom, Usage, and Awkwardness in Context
The correct answer should not sound strange or forced in the context of the passage.
Checking for good grammar can make the difference between picking the right choice
and the wrong one.
