May i know what technique do you use to solve "must be true/ inference" question in both CR and RC?
Hello,
naju. I am not sure to whom your inquiry was directed, but I will offer a little advice on the matter.
Make sure you stick strictly to what the passage says in both CR and RC questions. There is a misconception that
inference means that you have to read between the lines. Often, an inference on the GMAT™ means
Find the answer that most closely mimics the language of the specific part(s) of the passage the question is asking about. Sometimes this task may be rephrasing a particular line, sometimes cobbling together a bit from one paragraph with a bit from another, but it is always true that
the correct answer comes from the passage. When your mind starts to veer off course and you create possibilities for what
could be true, rather than sticking to the text, you start to answer more questions incorrectly and grow increasingly frustrated. Your goal is not to find the one true answer, contrary to the approach adopted by many novice test-takers, but to find weaknesses in four of the five answers that will together reveal what you are looking for. The more you practice burning off the wrong answers, and the more you stick to the passage, the better your test performance will be.
Good luck with your studies.
