Summary

Choose 3 options that best summarize the main points of the passage. Summary questions ask the test taker to identify sentences that express major ideas and critical information included in the reading passage. Nearly every passage has 1 of these questions at the end. The test taker is provided with a summary statement of the reading passage and 6 answer options. All of the answer choices will contain information that was in the passage, and they will be paraphrased so they don’t have the exact same wording. The incorrect answer choices will have errors in details, make false statements about information, or state an accurate but unimportant detail.
