This part of the exam takes a lot of time and concentration. Explain to your students that the people who are most practised in reading in English will find this part the easiest. It's a good idea to get into the habit of reading in English - fiction and non-fiction. In this exercise, they need to read the text and the questions carefully. Often more than one of the options seem possible, but there will always be subtle differences that mean that only one is correct.
1) This section tests the ability to distinguish between similar viewpoints, outcomes or reasons as well as the general tone and opinion of the writer.
2) Questions may test comparison and contrast, both literal and metaphorical.
3) The final question is usually about the global meaning of the text or opinion of the author.
4) The questions follow the order of the text, but there may be more than one answer in any given paragraph.
5) When answering a question, read the question and find the answer in the text. After, compare it to the answer options and choose the best one.
Eliminate wrong options to narrow down your choices.
6) When you find an answer in the text, underline it.
