HOW TO ANSWER MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS
Introduction
OBJECTIVES
At the end of this lesson, you will be able to
• recognise different types of multiple choice
questions
AND
• choose the right answer to multiple choice
questions.
Objectives
FORM OF THE QUESTIONS
In most cases you will have
• a question followed by four possible answers
OR
• a sentence which has not been finished. (The
four answers are then four different ways of
ending the sentence, only one of which is
correct.)
Content
TYPES OF QUESTION ASKED
• The questions are usually looking for a
detailed understanding of parts of the
passage which you have to read.
• Some questions may ask you to show a more
general understanding of parts of the
passage or of the whole passage.
Content
USEFUL TIPS1.USE THE PASSAGE TO ANSWER THE
QUESTIONS
Always choose your answer according to
what is written in the passage, even if you
disagree with it.
Content
For example, you had the sentence below in a passage
along with the question following:
‘There is no doubt at all that dll dogs are
vicious.’
Question: What are we told about dogs?
The answer would have to be that ‘all dogs are
vicious’. It does not matter if you do not agree with the
statement or if you know that it is untrue, you are being
asked to show that you understand what has been
written in the passage.Content
USEFUL TIPS2. ANSWERING THE QUESTION ASKED
Be careful to answer the question asked.
One of the answers could correctly refer to
something in the passage but it may not answer the
question asked.
Such an answer would obviously be wrong.
Content
You might have the sentence below in a passage with
the question which follows:
‘The old man was delighted with the present
his daughter had given him.’
Question: How do we know the daughter did
not see her father every day?
One of the suggested answers could be: ‘She had given
him a present.’
This is a true statement based on the passage but it
does NOT answer the question asked.
Content
USEFUL TIPS3. DO NOT ASSUME TOO MUCH
Don’t think that a passage tells you more
than it really does when choosing an
answer.
Content
Look at the following sentence and question:
‘At the end of his holiday Bob had hardly any
money left.’
Question: What are we told about Bob at the end
of his holiday?
One of the four suggested answers to this question could
be: ‘Bob had spent all his money.’
This answer cannot be correct; if Bob had hardly any
money left, this does mean he had a ittle left and that he
had not spent quite everything.
If the answer was ‘Bob had spent almost all his
money’, this would, of course, be correct.
