Answering reading comprehension questions effectively involves a multi-step process. Begin by carefully reading the passage, paying attention to the main idea, supporting details, and author's purpose. Next, analyze the question itself, identifying key words and understanding what the question is asking. Use context clues within the passage to locate relevant information. Once you've identified the relevant information, formulate your answer based on the text's evidence. Eliminate incorrect choices by identifying any contradictory information or unsupported claims. Finally, review your answer to ensure it accurately reflects the passage and directly addresses the question. Practice different question types such as inference, main idea, and detail questions to build proficiency. Active reading strategies, such as annotating and summarizing, can enhance comprehension and improve the accuracy of your responses.
