Multiple Choice

10 passages, each with six single-answer multiple-choice questions. Choose the option (A–D) that best matches the passage. The reason appears instantly.

How this question type works ›

Read the question stem carefully before the options — know exactly what is asked.
The right answer is the one the passage supports, even if worded differently. Don't pick an option just because its words appear in the text.
Distractors are often true statements that don't answer the question, or half-true twists.
Eliminate clearly wrong options first, then decide between the two that remain.
For ‘the writer suggests/implies’, look for what logically follows from the text, not a direct quote.
