Hi,
So exciting.. my first post.
Anyway, as I am post phrasing my verbal, I notice that there are two question types that I just really suck at so I was wondering how you all approach these types.
1) The Ideas of this passage are mainly derived from...
a)facts
b)speculations
c)observation
d)research
I am making the answer choices up but how do I go about figuring out how the author is making the claims that he/she is?
2) Which of the statements provides support for what the author probably means in stating that..
so these questions are about drawing parallels by giving you outside information... I am having a hard time making those connections because to me all the answer choices make some sort of connection.
3) For which of the following does the author provide no support.
I am really confused by "support" as in supporting evidence? How do I know the author did not provide support because there are statements made in the introduction that are then talked about again in the third or fourth paragraph. So does that count as supporting evidence?
THANKS!!!
