Can someone help me with a methodology/shortcut/process, if any, to tackle literature based passages.
I completely fail to understand such passages and in turn end up giving all the wrong answers. This goes for any sort of CR passage as well.

I am sorry to say but actually there is no shortcut. Even I had similar problem. We loose our interest while reading such passages or there is lot of information in the passage for us to consume/ process in our mind. But with continuous practice you can improve and get better on it.
I would recommend something that I try on my own and it works more often than not.
1) Develop interest in the subject (Passage). 2) Try to predict: what author is saying now, what can he talk about in the next passage. Such proactive approach will keep your interested in the subject.
