Dawn - CARS - Flashcards
if its vague and not sure try to eliminate!
-
central argument and main idea –> means ACTUALLY main idea –> even if its a small piece, it doesnt count bc its a supporting idea
-
USE MAIN IDEA –> dont get caught up in one idea, esp for hypothetical questions because there are many possible answers –> dont get distracted by the little things
-
To weaken claim you have to challenege the main idea an assumption or legs of the claim (ie: video game that isnt an art form)
-
passage to inform vs persude
-
Make sure that similar terms are not confused
-
Look at what makes other answers wrong –> dont just dismiss because it sounds out of place –> if its too narrow that is not good!
-
focus on modifiers to find differences
-
Rephrase prompt into something that doesnt say except
-
Make sure all the parts of the question are answered in the choices given
-
only look in paragraph that they give you
-
Look out for strong language, most, all, never, impossible, always
-
Make sure it really fits! If iffy leave out!
