Question and Option Choices

  • On the English test, questions can have a different format, such as asking you to choose the erroneous response.

  • Usually, these inquiries will contain the terms NOT or EXCEPT (and they will be written in all capital letters).

  • Therefore, it's important to understand the question: what am I being asked to complete? You can't get the question correctly if you don't first understand what is being asked. We are going to look at NOT/EXCEPT questions, and then we are going to analyze the answer choices "NO CHANGE" and "DELETE/OMIT."

NOT and EXCEPT

In these circumstances, the incorrect response options could seem quite acceptable to you—and they probably are! You are actually looking for the erroneous response choice in questions with negatives like NOT or EXCEPT.

NO CHANGE

NO CHANGE is usually the first option on the English test, and it may appear on your answer sheet as frequently as the other options. It doesn't always indicate that a section is flawed just because some of it is underlined.

DELETE/OMIT

The option to "DELETE (or OMIT) the highlighted section" may appear on occasion; choosing it signifies that you believe deleting the portion is the best solution. Consider if the underlined text is pertinent and required to the sentence's overall structure before selecting DELETE as your response when it is provided as an option. In such case, DELETE could be your best option.

Process of Elimination

  • You might not always feel secure in selecting just one response. When this occurs, you have two options for eliminating incorrect responses to increase your chances of getting the question right.

  • Read each option back into the phrase to make sure it is grammatically accurate and/or explains the idea effectively since the exam asks you to think about changing the underlined area.

  • By demonstrating that a portion of an erroneous response choice is incorrect, you may sometimes swiftly rule out the entire incorrect answer choice. By concentrating on one section at a time, you may make the response options simpler. Think about the following illustration queries:
