The initial step to answer this question type is to read the instructions carefully to decide the answer form i.e. if it is a TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN or YES/NO/NOT GIVEN question. Read the statement carefully, mark keywords and generate the synonyms of keywords in mind. Look carefully if any qualifying word is given in the statement for example few, some, all, most, often, always, only etc. Read the statement carefully when qualifying word is in statement as these words change the meaning of the whole sentence. Locate the keywords in passage and read carefully to derive the meaning and not only words. Compare the information and answer the question It is worth remembering that the information for this task type is in sequence in the passage. This means that the answer to the first question would first in the passage, followed by the second and so on. If you do not get any information for third between the information for second and fourth answer, there are chances that the answer is not given. In the given statements there is at least answer from each which means if you have written all answers as either true or false without using not given option then at least your one answer is incorrect.
