1
00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:07,850
‫In this lesson will be focusing on learning strategies for answering multiple choice questions.

2
00:00:08,810 --> 00:00:11,540
‫Here's some basics about the multiple choice question.

3
00:00:12,980 --> 00:00:17,300
‫So the multiple choice is a very, very common question.

4
00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:23,970
‫In the Alps reading test, there's probably at least a 60 percent chance that you will see it.

5
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:29,330
‫So learning strategies to answer this question is very important indeed.

6
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:36,550
‫There are three different types of multiple choice questions, and here they are.

7
00:00:37,210 --> 00:00:45,130
‫First, you have to choose one answer out of four options, then you have choose two answers out of

8
00:00:45,130 --> 00:00:49,860
‫five options or possibly two answers out of five or more options.

9
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:55,210
‫Then you have choose three answers out of six options.

10
00:00:55,990 --> 00:01:03,400
‫Number one, choose one answer out of four is by far the most common type of multiple choice question

11
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:04,350
‫you will get.

12
00:01:04,660 --> 00:01:12,640
‫But in this lesson we will look over all three, say here is a passage, and we'll begin by looking

13
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,980
‫at multiple choice question one, which is choose one answer from four options.

14
00:01:18,490 --> 00:01:22,000
‫I'll give you some time now to read through this passage.

15
00:01:40,140 --> 00:01:45,750
‫OK, if you need any more time, then please pause the video, I'll read the question through to you

16
00:01:45,750 --> 00:01:46,140
‫now.

17
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:52,660
‫Questions 10 to 12, choose the correct letter A, B, C or D.

18
00:01:53,010 --> 00:01:56,150
‫And here we have an example of question ten.

19
00:01:57,090 --> 00:02:01,530
‫How did Margaret Taylor celebrate this historic day?

20
00:02:01,950 --> 00:02:04,920
‫Was it a she invited Queen Elizabeth to her home.

21
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,820
‫B, she decorated two rooms for the royal family.

22
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:16,560
‫C, she decorated the entire house with royal collectibles, or D, she renovated her home.

23
00:02:17,130 --> 00:02:26,700
‫So in this question time, we either need to choose A, B, C or D for multiple choice type one, choosing

24
00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:28,460
‫one answer from four options.

25
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,370
‫Their answers will be in order in the text.

26
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,710
‫So if you want to find the answer, please pause the video now if you need a bit more time.

27
00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:41,000
‫And here is the answer to this question.

28
00:02:41,730 --> 00:02:45,660
‫She decorated the entire house with royal collectibles.

29
00:02:46,170 --> 00:02:50,330
‫Here is my strategy for answering these questions types.

30
00:02:50,910 --> 00:02:54,930
‫First, look over the questions and spot key words.

31
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:03,990
‫Skim and scan the text and underline key phrases here, then return to the answer options and eliminate

32
00:03:03,990 --> 00:03:05,310
‫wrong answers.

33
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:12,620
‫So looking through the options, A, B, C and D A, she invited Queen Elizabeth to a home.

34
00:03:13,050 --> 00:03:20,100
‫I can very quickly see that that answer is incorrect, as there's no mention of anything to do with

35
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:22,140
‫inviting the queen to her house.

36
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:26,250
‫There are two tricky answers are B and C.

37
00:03:26,820 --> 00:03:33,510
‫B, she decorated two rooms for the royal family is possibly correct, as in the passage.

38
00:03:33,510 --> 00:03:38,910
‫It does mention two rooms, but that's not all that it talks about.

39
00:03:39,630 --> 00:03:44,970
‫C She decorated the entire house with royal collectibles is the right answer.

40
00:03:45,540 --> 00:03:48,810
‫Collectibles is a synonym for memorabilia.

41
00:03:49,110 --> 00:03:51,120
‫So I can find that in the text.

42
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,640
‫And quickly answer this question.

43
00:03:55,090 --> 00:04:02,800
‫Let's have a look at multiple choice question type two, which is choose two answers from five or possibly

44
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:03,690
‫more option.

45
00:04:04,270 --> 00:04:08,620
‫Again, I'll give you a little bit of time now to look through the passage.

46
00:04:08,830 --> 00:04:13,590
‫But if you want to pause the video to have a very clear read, then please do so.

47
00:04:28,260 --> 00:04:34,980
‫So I will read through the question now questions one to five, and we have example, question one,

48
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:45,570
‫right to letters in your answer sheet from A to E, which to resources does the US government wish to

49
00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:54,870
‫update A ballistic missiles, B, federal activities, C, nuclear arsenal, D, nuclear bombers or

50
00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:57,240
‫a, military transporters?

51
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:06,600
‫So I think it's very important that we underline key words in the question to help me find similar synonyms

52
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,130
‫or information in the passage.

53
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:11,400
‫Let's see what I underlined.

54
00:05:11,940 --> 00:05:15,330
‫Resources, U.S. government and update.

55
00:05:15,870 --> 00:05:22,020
‫So now that I've underlined key words in the question, I'll skim and scan through the passage to find

56
00:05:22,020 --> 00:05:25,410
‫synonyms or key information here.

57
00:05:25,420 --> 00:05:31,950
‫I've underlined nuclear arsenal and military transporters, as I can see just above that.

58
00:05:32,250 --> 00:05:37,380
‫That passage says federal resources, which is the same as in the question.

59
00:05:37,980 --> 00:05:45,090
‫This leads me to believe that the answer is located here nuclear arsenal and military transport.

60
00:05:45,090 --> 00:05:53,190
‫As you can see that by identifying key words and information in both the question and the passage,

61
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,610
‫I'm able to focus and find answers more quickly.

62
00:05:58,350 --> 00:06:05,250
‫Let's take a quick look at multiple choice question type three, which is choose three answers from

63
00:06:05,250 --> 00:06:07,020
‫six or more options.

64
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:14,670
‫I've just got an example of the question as this is very similar to the other two multiple choice types.

65
00:06:15,030 --> 00:06:16,770
‫So questions one to five.

66
00:06:17,010 --> 00:06:23,840
‫Write three letters in your answer sheet from A to F, which three foods contain high levels of zinc.

67
00:06:23,850 --> 00:06:31,380
‫So this is just an example of this multiple choice question type, but the strategy remains very much

68
00:06:31,380 --> 00:06:31,810
‫the same.

69
00:06:32,310 --> 00:06:39,210
‫Read the questions and spot an underlying key keywords, then skim and scan through the text and passage

70
00:06:39,390 --> 00:06:46,760
‫underlining key phrases again, return to the answer options and eliminate wrong answers.

71
00:06:47,130 --> 00:06:49,880
‫You can see the strategy is very much the same.

72
00:06:50,550 --> 00:06:55,500
‫So that brings us to the end of this lesson on multiple choice question types.

73
00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:57,660
‫See you in the next lesson.
