What is the best way to answer IELTS Reading multiple-choice questions?
Read the question and all the options before examining the relevant part of the passage. Notice the differences between the options, then look for the meaning of the question in the text, not merely matching words. Eliminate answers that contradict the passage, answer a different question or contain only partly correct information.
Choose the option you can support with specific textual evidence. When reviewing practice, explain why each rejected option is wrong. This is often more valuable than checking only the correct letter.
