What Information and Ideas tests
Every question in this domain has its answer inside the passage, which sounds reassuring and is the source of the difficulty. The wrong options are not false statements; they are true statements the passage does not make, or claims that go one step further than the text supports. Success is less about reading speed than about a habit: locating the specific line that licenses your answer before choosing it. If you cannot point at the sentence, the option is a guess no matter how reasonable it sounds.
