Hi all,
I am having problem in finding the primary purpose of the passage. Most of the time i am getting it wrong though I do fairly well in other questions. Can anyone help in this.

This is easy...I also used to make mistakes but after sufficiently practice I realised that it is easy to spot. Few pointers on this:
1. You don’t chose the right Ans choice; you have to eliminate the wrong ones
2. Wrong choices will capture main point of one paragraph only and not of the entire passage
3. For choices like-“ primary purpose is to evaluate two strategies and recommit the best ones of those two...blah blah”; ask yourself whether the author is really evaluating or he is just quoting facts. Evaluate will mean citing pros and cons, doing deep thinking about the two strategies suggested. Question yourself, whether author is really doing that or it’s just a fancy word in the choices, prompting you to make an error
4. Once you zero down on a choice, force fit it with respect to the entire passage and check if it makes sense. If it doesn’t, you need to go through other choices then
I hope it’ll be helpful. Good luck with solving those RCs!
