‫In this lesson will be focusing on learning strategies for answering multiple choice questions.
‫Here's some basics about the multiple choice question.
‫So the multiple choice is a very, very common question.
‫In the Alps reading test, there's probably at least a 60 percent chance that you will see it.
‫So learning strategies to answer this question is very important indeed.
‫There are three different types of multiple choice questions, and here they are.
‫First, you have to choose one answer out of four options, then you have choose two answers out of
‫five options or possibly two answers out of five or more options.
‫Then you have choose three answers out of six options.
‫Number one, choose one answer out of four is by far the most common type of multiple choice question
‫you will get.
‫But in this lesson we will look over all three, say here is a passage, and we'll begin by looking
‫at multiple choice question one, which is choose one answer from four options.
‫I'll give you some time now to read through this passage.
‫OK, if you need any more time, then please pause the video, I'll read the question through to you
‫now.
‫Questions 10 to 12, choose the correct letter A, B, C or D.
‫And here we have an example of question ten.
‫How did Margaret Taylor celebrate this historic day?
‫Was it a she invited Queen Elizabeth to her home.
‫B, she decorated two rooms for the royal family.
‫C, she decorated the entire house with royal collectibles, or D, she renovated her home.
‫So in this question time, we either need to choose A, B, C or D for multiple choice type one, choosing
‫one answer from four options.
‫Their answers will be in order in the text.
‫So if you want to find the answer, please pause the video now if you need a bit more time.
‫And here is the answer to this question.
‫She decorated the entire house with royal collectibles.
‫Here is my strategy for answering these questions types.
‫First, look over the questions and spot key words.
‫Skim and scan the text and underline key phrases here, then return to the answer options and eliminate
‫wrong answers.
‫So looking through the options, A, B, C and D A, she invited Queen Elizabeth to a home.
‫I can very quickly see that that answer is incorrect, as there's no mention of anything to do with
‫inviting the queen to her house.
‫There are two tricky answers are B and C.
‫B, she decorated two rooms for the royal family is possibly correct, as in the passage.
‫It does mention two rooms, but that's not all that it talks about.
‫C She decorated the entire house with royal collectibles is the right answer.
‫Collectibles is a synonym for memorabilia.
‫So I can find that in the text.
‫And quickly answer this question.
‫Let's have a look at multiple choice question type two, which is choose two answers from five or possibly
‫more option.
‫Again, I'll give you a little bit of time now to look through the passage.
‫But if you want to pause the video to have a very clear read, then please do so.
‫So I will read through the question now questions one to five, and we have example, question one,
‫right to letters in your answer sheet from A to E, which to resources does the US government wish to
‫update A ballistic missiles, B, federal activities, C, nuclear arsenal, D, nuclear bombers or
‫a, military transporters?
‫So I think it's very important that we underline key words in the question to help me find similar synonyms
‫or information in the passage.
‫Let's see what I underlined.
‫Resources, U.S. government and update.
‫So now that I've underlined key words in the question, I'll skim and scan through the passage to find
‫synonyms or key information here.
‫I've underlined nuclear arsenal and military transporters, as I can see just above that.
‫That passage says federal resources, which is the same as in the question.
‫This leads me to believe that the answer is located here nuclear arsenal and military transport.
‫As you can see that by identifying key words and information in both the question and the passage,
‫I'm able to focus and find answers more quickly.
‫Let's take a quick look at multiple choice question type three, which is choose three answers from
‫six or more options.
‫I've just got an example of the question as this is very similar to the other two multiple choice types.
‫So questions one to five.
‫Write three letters in your answer sheet from A to F, which three foods contain high levels of zinc.
‫So this is just an example of this multiple choice question type, but the strategy remains very much
‫the same.
‫Read the questions and spot an underlying key keywords, then skim and scan through the text and passage
‫underlining key phrases again, return to the answer options and eliminate wrong answers.
‫You can see the strategy is very much the same.
‫So that brings us to the end of this lesson on multiple choice question types.
‫See you in the next lesson.
