“Choose the correct answer to a question.”

Tips

• Familiarize with the questions in the given time.
• Read through the questions and answer options. If your reading speed is slow, focus on the question and what kind of information you precisely need. (eg detail, name of a place, a reason, an opinion, etc. ) That will help you to remain alert as you listen and will guide you to your answer.
• Look out for the paraphrasing of the question and answer choices.
• The first option spoken may not always be right. Keep listening till you get some worthwhile information to answer the question.
• Listen carefully for the given options that are ruled out by the speaker. Most of what you hear around the question will be present correctly or incorrectly in the options. This is meant to confuse you. Do not be attracted to words in isolation. Consider the context.
• Watch out for connectors: “however”, “though” or “yet”, which means there is a shift in idea or opinion and hence may not be the correct answer.
