Tips for Paragraph Comprehension
- Read the question before the passage so you know what to look for.
- Answer only from what the passage says, not from what you already know about the topic.
- Be careful with answer choices that use absolute words like "always", "never" or "only".
- For main-idea questions, choose the answer that covers the whole passage, not just one sentence.
