Module 6 · Lesson 6 of 7
Matching information and multiple choice
A clear method for four question types that test paraphrase: matching information, matching features, sentence endings and multiple choice, with an original passage to practise on.
In this lesson
- Find the paragraph that contains a piece of information by matching both its label (a reason, an example, a comparison) and its topic, in any order
- Match statements to the right person by tracking every mention of each name and checking who actually holds each view
- Choose sentence endings by using grammar to shortlist and meaning to decide
- Answer multiple-choice questions by predicting first and rejecting options built from echoes, overstatements and half-truths
- Apply all four methods to an original passage and review your mistakes by the trap that caused them
