How to Answer Multiple Choice Questions

  • Multiple choice questions are often seen as easier than essay questions, but they still require careful analysis.
  • To avoid common traps, be wary of subtle tricks that may lead you to the wrong answer.
  • Always double-check the wording and structure of the question, especially if it seems too easy.
  • The goal of multiple-choice test makers is to gauge your analytical skills.
  • Identify and eliminate incorrect answers by focusing on details like grammar and sentence structure.
  • The process of elimination can narrow down your choices and make it easier to find the correct answer.

Language Proficiency Traps

  • Violation of Parallel Structures: Pay attention to how phrases and words are structured within a sentence to ensure consistency in tense and form.
  • Distracting Phrases and Clauses: Always identify the subject and verb of a sentence to ensure proper subject-verb agreement, even in sentences with additional phrases or clauses.
  • Inverted Sentence Structure: Be aware of inverted sentences, where verbs appear before subjects, and make sure the subject and verb agree.
  • Misplaced Modifiers: Ensure that modifiers are placed close to the words or phrases they modify to avoid confusion and ensure clarity.
