HOW TO ANSWER MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

Introduction

OBJECTIVES

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to

• recognise different types of multiple choice

questions

AND

• choose the right answer to multiple choice

questions.

Objectives

FORM OF THE QUESTIONS

In most cases you will have

• a question followed by four possible answers

OR

• a sentence which has not been finished. (The

four answers are then four different ways of

ending the sentence, only one of which is

correct.)

Content

TYPES OF QUESTION ASKED

• The questions are usually looking for a

detailed understanding of parts of the

passage which you have to read.

• Some questions may ask you to show a more

general understanding of parts of the

passage or of the whole passage.

Content

USEFUL TIPS1.USE THE PASSAGE TO ANSWER THE

QUESTIONS

Always choose your answer according to

what is written in the passage, even if you

disagree with it.

Content

For example, you had the sentence below in a passage

along with the question following:

‘There is no doubt at all that dll dogs are

vicious.’

Question: What are we told about dogs?

The answer would have to be that ‘all dogs are

vicious’. It does not matter if you do not agree with the

statement or if you know that it is untrue, you are being

asked to show that you understand what has been

written in the passage.Content

USEFUL TIPS2. ANSWERING THE QUESTION ASKED

Be careful to answer the question asked.

One of the answers could correctly refer to

something in the passage but it may not answer the

question asked.

Such an answer would obviously be wrong.

Content

You might have the sentence below in a passage with

the question which follows:

‘The old man was delighted with the present

his daughter had given him.’

Question: How do we know the daughter did

not see her father every day?

One of the suggested answers could be: ‘She had given

him a present.’

This is a true statement based on the passage but it

does NOT answer the question asked.

Content

USEFUL TIPS3. DO NOT ASSUME TOO MUCH

Don’t think that a passage tells you more

than it really does when choosing an

answer.

Content

Look at the following sentence and question:

‘At the end of his holiday Bob had hardly any

money left.’

Question: What are we told about Bob at the end

of his holiday?

One of the four suggested answers to this question could

be: ‘Bob had spent all his money.’

This answer cannot be correct; if Bob had hardly any

money left, this does mean he had a ittle left and that he

had not spent quite everything.

If the answer was ‘Bob had spent almost all his

money’, this would, of course, be correct.
