6.2 Flashcards to help study.

What is the first step to find accurate ideas for a multiple-choice question?

Understand the Question Thoroughly: Read the question carefully to identify exactly what it is asking. Look for keywords, main ideas, and any specific constraints or contexts.

After understanding the question, what is the next step?

Scan and Locate Key Information: Go back to the text and scan for information directly relevant to the question. Actively search for the core idea or specific details the question addresses.

Why is it important to formulate your own answer before looking at choices?

Based on the text, try to formulate an answer in your own words. This helps prevent being swayed by plausible but incorrect distractors among the answer choices.

How should you evaluate answer choices?

Read all provided answer choices. Compare each choice to the information you found in the text and your pre-formulated answer. Eliminate choices that are clearly incorrect, contradicted by the text, or introduce new information not found in the text.
