Effectively dealing with the true, false & not given question type

The suggestions that we have given below, can help you in completing the assignment efficiently and within the prescribed time limits.

  • Find the terms that are related to the question in the question statement to assist you in finding the information in the passage. Additionally, thoroughly examine the phrase to understand its meaning.

  • You cannot always locate the exact terms when searching through the paragraphs. Try to find terms or expressions that have similar meanings.

  • A single word can change the sentence's whole meaning. Therefore, pay close attention to terms like some, occasionally, never, and everything.

  • To fully comprehend the meaning, carefully read the passage. If the information in the question statement matches the information in the text, the answer is True. If the question statement contrasts with the facts in the passage, the answer will be False. If the passage has no information, then the answer is Not Given.

  • Keep in mind that the questions will be rephrased to make them more challenging.

  • The facts in the text will be presented in the same sequence as the question statements. It indicates that you can locate the information needed for the first question statement before the answers needed for the second.

  • While responding to the questions, avoid attempting to provide more information. Depend exclusively on the details presented in the paragraph.

  • The method of paraphrasing the question sentence has been beneficial. It enables you to precisely comprehend the statement's meaning so that you may do the task in the least amount of time.

  • If you find the question stated difficult to answer, proceed to the next question. You may always go back to the questions that remain unanswered. It will help you save time.
