multiple answer questions
summary
the lesson focuses on a unique gre reading comprehension question type known as the multiple answer question (maq), detailing strategies for approaching these questions, and applying these techniques to a challenging passage.
- maqs are characterized by having three answer choices with the possibility of one, two, or all being correct, distinguished by brackets around the choices.
- strategically, it's advised to sometimes skip maqs if time-constrained, due to their time-consuming nature in requiring careful consideration of each answer choice.
- a detailed approach to a difficult passage is demonstrated, emphasizing the importance of identifying the primary purpose and key points before tackling the questions.
- the correct approach to answering maqs involves going back to the passage for evidence, paraphrasing the question for clarity, and carefully evaluating each answer choice.
- specific strategies include skipping time-consuming maqs if needed, but if attempted, ensuring a thorough examination of evidence and understanding of the question.
