DODGE THE QUESTION
The Professor
True, but not what you asked.
GOES BY DR. ELIAS THORNE
THE TELL
The option is true. The passage really does say it. It just answers a different question than the one in the stem — usually a bigger, more interesting one.
FIRST MOVE
Read the stem twice before the options once. Underline the verb — support, weaken, function, mainly. Then hold every option against that one word.
WARNING
He's strongest when you're confident. The option you nod at fastest — because it's true — is his.
