Why multiple choice is tricky: In IELTS Reading, the correct option is usually a paraphrase of the text, while wrong options often copy words from the text. So do not choose an option just because it has the same words. Match the meaning.
❌ Choose the option with the same words✅ Choose the option with the same meaning
📖 Before you choose
✂️ Eliminate wrong options
🪤 Common traps
🔁 Paraphrase examples
🎯 Different question types
💡 IELTS tip: Eliminate first. Cross out options that are clearly wrong, then choose between the ones that remain. Answer every question, because there is no negative marking. If one question takes too long, mark it and move on.
