All right.
So
let's take a look at the standard example of a multiple choice question let's get the right size in
here first and make sure that everybody can see it really good.
Now in terms of the standard this one is about the development of museums and this is coming from the
Cambridge book.
Number nine tests for reading passage three.
OK.
Like I've told you get those Cambridge books they're great.
Best practice in the world.
Use them and then it's going to help you get a really great score.
All right.
So look at the standard multiple choice question when it comes to the reading comprehension so here
we go we are 31 32 33 34 and 35 and 36.
So these questions go in order current they go and order.
And so like I said the first thing we want to look at or look at which questions are going to be the
easiest for us to do first.
Which ones are going to be the easiest for us to do first.
And so when we're when we're talking about which ones are easiest for us to do first I would say number
33 where it talks about heritage sites and theme parks those are good words to find number 32 where
it talks about the heritage industry and current trends and that's going to be pretty easy to find.
Number 35 gives us the exact paragraph paragraph key that was probably going to be pretty easy to find
also.
OK.
So if I were doing the real exam I would probably do 32 33 and then 35 can then that will let me know
where the other questions are.
Because as I've told you a multiple choice question the standard multiple choice question goes in order.
That means you know they go in order of the passage and then by now I know you've listened to a lot
of my lectures.
So you understand what I mean by going in order.
Thirty two comes after 31 33 comes after 32 so forth and so on.
So let's go and try to find them at 32.
First we have to go we have to now go and scan.
We can we can we can look at some of the answer choices and we see.
We're talking about emphasizing personal involvement.
Georgian's in New York and London computer images are minority taste.
Those will be some of the keywords and the answer choices but as quaint and find our matching sentence
current trends and the heritage industry
Hi here.
Here's our
here's our language right here where it talks about recently which means currently here we have in terms
of heritage is right here.
All right.
And so we actually have a combination of these two sentences that is making our question up.
We have these two sentences as making our question.
So it says Recently however attitudes towards history reading right here.
Recently however attitudes towards history and the way it should be presented have altered the key word
in heritage.
Display is now experience the more exciting the better.
And if possible involving all the senses
All right we double check That's our key word sentence
current trends current trends and current trends in the here to industry current trends
current trends
right.
You know the key word in which play is now Chris.
OK sorry about that pause.
I had to go and grab some water.
Your teacher was losing his voice a little bit.
Sorry.
Sorry about that.
OK.
All right so let's go back here.
These are key sentences right here.
Recently however attitudes towards history and the way it should be presented have altered the key word
here is that heritage display is now experience the more exciting the better it possibly involving all
the senses.
So when we look back at number 32 the current trends in inherited inherited industry.
The correct answer is number a emphasize personal involvement.
Because it says that it should involve all the senses when it says it should involve all the senses.
That's that's that's synonym language or meaning personal involvement.
All right.
Also when you find the when you find the matching sentence all the other answers look wrong there's
nothing about York and London.
There's nothing about computer images and there's nothing about reflecting minority and minority taste.
So we know that B C and D are wrong.
That's why it's so important.
That's why it's so important for you to be able to find your magic sentence the better you are being
able to find your matching sentence the better you're going to be able to do these these types of questions.
Now let's look at number 33 heritage sites and theme parks work in close partnership separate identities
similar exhibits less and less easy to distinguish.
So that's some of the information.
Look out for when I find the right sentence.
It goes in order so I know it has to come after.
Well here it is right here.
I know it has a home after this sentence has it come after this question right here from this part.
And here we have heritage sites and theme parks.
So that's that's our matching sentence right there.
OK.
That's our matching sentence that's only sent us where we're going to see heritage site and theme park
together get a related development the sharp distinction between museum and heritage sites.
On the one hand theme parks on the other is gradually evaporating.
So it's telling us the distinction between the two is gradually evaporating the distinction between
the heritage site and a theme park is gradually evaporating evaporating mean going away.
So we look at number 33 which matches that information.
The answer is D.
Less easy to distinguish them before.
Less easy to distinguish them before right because it says that is gradually evaporating.
The distinction between the heritage site and a theme park is gradually evaporating the synonym answer
for that is choice.
The less easy to distinguish them before so see you have to pay attention to it in any language.
I think it's a descendant of languages is very very important.
I know what 32 and 33 are right.
So now I know that number 31 has to come before 32 and 34 comes after 33 so that makes it a little bit
easier to find where these questions are located.
So let's go ahead and find number 31.
Compare with today's museums.
Those are the past compare with today's museums.
Those are the past.
Now if you want to.
You don't have to look at the keywords in the answer choices.
That's a step that you know you can do that but it's not really that relevant or important.
If you want you can go directly to the sentence or read it and then pick your answer compare with today's
museums.
Those are the past so that's what I'm looking for.
And it has to come before paragraph B because paragraph B was for question number 32.
It Here we go.
Museums used to look right museums used to look.
So this museums used to look.
This desk tells me that's the right sentence because our question is saying compared with today's museums
museums of the past.
So it talks about museums used to look.
Right.
That's talking about museums in the past.
So I know that's the right sentence.
Right.
So it says museums used to look and some still do much like storage room objects packed together and
showcases.
Good for scholars who wanted to study the subtle differences and design but not for the ordinary visitor
to whom it all looked alike.
List of big storage room objects packed together.
Good for the scholar but not for the ordinary visitor who would all look alike to quite so for number
31.
Our correct answer is B.
Were not primarily intended for the public because when we looked at that sentence we looked at that
sentence.
That sentence says that it was museums that used to be or used to look and some still do like a bit
still of like a big storage locker and it said it was good for the professionals but it was not good
for the average visitor because everything looked the same so the synonym answer for that is that in
the past it was not primarily intended for the public right.
That's the only answer choice B is the only answer we can pull from those sentences.
I did not present history in a detailed way we can't say that were more clearly organized.
We know that's false.
Preserve items with greater care.
We don't know that.
OK we don't know that the answer that the the answer that comes from the sentence is choice B.
OK now let's look at number 34.
The writer says that in preparing exhibits for museums experts should write so in preparing and preparing
what should what should the experts do in preparing exhibits for preparing exhibits for museums What
should they do right.
So have a look at that and see
we know what comes after 33
it as a reminder 33 was from right here and show them paragraph season has come after that and we're
scared if we're scanning for where it talks about preparing an exhibit.
All right.
So here
is talking about them here is talking about them preparing starting right here we're talking about heritage.
This is this is where this is where we're at.
We're talking about.
All right.
This is where we're talking about.
All right.
So what a multiple choice question sometimes makes it difficult also sometimes for multiple choice question
like I've told you you have to be more than one set and sometimes for a multiple choice question to
be able to get it right.
All right.
So let's take a look again a question for number thirty four.
The writer says that in preparing exhibits for museums experts must What must they do.
So lubra here says those who are professionally engaged in the art of interpreting history.
Right when it's when it's talking about that because talking about them has professionally engage in
talking about experts in the art of interpreting history and talk about them preparing an exhibit.
That's what they're talking about here they're talking about them preparing an exhibit.
OK.
You could have started right side right here at Coxwell museum.
Experts do not have to invent stories and recreate historical environments that it's already in place.
But we need us.
This is our sentence right here.
Those who are professionally engaged in the art of interpreting history are thus in a difficult position
as they must steer a narrow course between the demands of evidence and attractiveness.
Right.
So they have to when they are preparing an exhibit when they're interpreting history which is another
way of saying preparing that exhibit this is really this question 34 is a really challenging question
because they're using a lot of student of language here for the right sentence.
And this is coming and reading passage three and as I told you at the very beginning reading passage
three a lot of times are going to be the more difficult question is going to have the more difficult
questions because they're trying to separate a person who can get a score of an eight or nine from a
person who can get a score of a six or seven.
So a lot of times of reading past history that's where you find the more difficult questions.
Those Zorg Innes's those who are professionally engaged in the art of reinterpreting history are thus
in a difficult position as a musti or a narrow course between the demands of evidence and attractiveness
attractiveness.
So they have to decide between two things that are correct answers is going to be I have to balance
conflicting priorities.
They have to balance conflicting priorities.
All right.
So I'm going to stop right there.
Number 34 for these multiple choice questions because I want to I want to do another example for you
but I'm just trying to really give you the right not trying to give you an idea of how this strategy
works for multiple choice questions.
Sometimes you have to read more than one sentence to get a correct answer.
But the important thing to remember is this question goes in order and you have to be able to find the
sentence that the question is coming from.
I haven't read that sentence and possibly the next sentence to be able to get the correct answer choice
for these multiple choice questions but the good thing is that they go in order and that's something
that can be very very helpful in terms of doing this type of question.
OK I'll talk to you soon.
