Before you solve these reading comprehension questions, some essential tips that may help you:

- Read the questions and underline key words.    
- Skim the selection to get a general idea of the subject matter, the point that is being made, and the organization of the material.    
- Reread the selection, giving attention to details and point of view. Underscore key words and phrases.    
- If the author has quoted material from another source, be sure that you understand the purpose of the quote. Does the author agree or disagree?    
- Carefully read each question or incomplete statement. Determine exactly what is being asked. Watch for negatives or all-inclusive words such as always, never, all, only, every, absolutely, completely, none, entirely, and no.    
- Read all the answer choices. Eliminate those choices that are obviously incorrect. Reread the remaining choices and refer to the selection, if necessary, to determine the best answer.    
- Avoid inserting your own judgments into your answers. Even if you disagree with the author or even if you spot a factual error in the selection, you must answer on the basis of what is stated or implied in the selection.    
- Do not allow yourself to spend too much time on any one question. If looking back at the selection does not help you to find or figure out the answer, choose from among the answers remaining after you eliminate the obviously wrong answers, mark the question in the test booklet, and go on. If you have time at the end of the exam or portion of the exam, reread the selection and the question. Often, a fresh look provides new insights.
