Okay, everybody, time is up.
That's more than enough time.
So, so far, in terms of time we've taken, we've taken a minute.
We've taken 30s actually to scan for the keywords in the question.
And now we just took seven minutes to answer questions one through five.
So right now we're under eight minutes.
We're under eight minutes.
So, you know, a lot of you I don't know why you're taking 20 minutes to answer questions when if you
do do things the way that I'm telling you to do it and you learn to do it the way that I'm telling you
to do it, you should be able to finish these passages in well under 20 minutes.
Well under 20 minutes.
Our correct answers for number one is carnivorous.
Right.
And when again, when I'm looking at that sentence, when I'm looking at that second sentence.
Okay.
Which is the key word sentence for number one.
I don't need to understand the sentence.
I'm looking for the word that matches entirely.
If I find the word that matches entirely, I find my answer.
Exclusively matches entirely.
So my answer is carnivorous.
I don't care what the rest of the sentence says.
So why would you read and waste time trying to understand it?
Number two, the correct answer is scent.
Again, all I'm looking for is what relates to dependent mainly on relied more on dependent, mainly
on answer a scent.
Do not waste time reading the entire sentence.
Find what is before or after that blank line immediately.
Uh, number three is Pouch.
Number four is fossil.
And number five is habitat.
We see the word reduction.
We see the words loss of right before habitat.
That tells you that your answer is habitat.
All right.
If there are no other questions, let's move on.
Now we're going to get into the true false, not given question.
So the first thing we're going to do is note the keywords and the question.
And when you're noting the key words in the question, this is what I want you to try your best to do.
When your notes note noting the keywords in the question, I want you to try to differentiate.
The key words that will help locate the matching sentence from the question.
Keywords that act as twist language that will determine if something is true, false or not given.
When I do it.
When you see my work, I'm going to put the language that relates to a the question keywords that will
help locate the matching sentence.
I'm going to put those that language in blue and I'm going to put the twist language in orange.
If you are doing this on your own, you know, you can circle one and underline the other.
Okay, but try your best to differentiate between those two aspects, because if you can do that, it
makes this question so much easier.
All right.
So I want you to take.
We have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight questions.
So I'm going to give you one minute.
And, you know I want you to do.
I want you to do two things here.
I want you to locate the question.
Keywords try to differentiate, and then I want you to scan for the matching sentences.
Okay.
I want you to locate the keywords and make sure you differentiate.
And then I want you to scan for the matching sentences.
So I'm going to give you I'm going to give you like, oh, let's see.
We have.
I'm going to give you probably maybe six minutes to do that.
Right.
Six minutes to do that because we've already taken a roughly seven minutes.
Yeah.
So I'll give you six minutes to do this.
Locate the question keywords and scan for the matching sentence.
Don't answer yet.
Locate and find the match matching sentence.
Seven minutes.
Oh, and let me say the language you see on there in yellow and green, those are the sentences that
relate to the field of blank question.
I left that on there because that's realistic to what happens on the exam.
So if somebody is underlining or circling key words for the field, the blank question, they're still
going to see that information underlined or circled on their paper.
Or if you're doing the computer test and you're highlighting on the screen, you can still end up seeing
that that information on the screen.
That's why I left it there.
Also, what I want to say is most of the time, nine times out of ten, they will not use the same sentences
that they use for the field of blame.
Question for the true false, not given question.
They're going to use different sentences.
That's also why I left that information there to teach you something about strategy.
Okay, everybody.
Now, if you look at the screen.
You can go.
You can see, actually.
Um, the question.
Keywords.
The questions, the question language is highlighted in blue relates to the matching sentences for number
six through numbers 13.
Right?
Six through 13.
All right, six through 13.
And if you look at questions six through 13, the language that's highlighted, you see language highlighted
in orange and language is highlighted in blue.
Right now.
Remember, I mentioned language that is used for finding the matching sentence and language in the question
that's used for determining if something is true, false or not given.
And the language you see that's highlighted in orange is the language that's called the twist language.
So when you look at number six from the 1830, that's going to help me find the matching sentence.
When I look at that sentence, that sentence is either going to say.
Significant numbers were killed, which is true or is going to say significant.
Significant numbers were not killed, which is false.
Or it will say nothing about the information which will be not given.
Same thing for number seven in the late 1800s will help me find the matching sentence.
But the twist language is where several born in zoos.
It will either say several were born in zoos.
Several were not born in zoos.
Right.
Or it will be silent.
For number eight.
John Gould prediction that will help me find the matching sentence.
When I find it, I don't need to understand the entire sentence.
That's where you all mess up.
I don't need to understand the whole sentence.
What I need to look at is relates to.
Did it surprise some biologists?
Did it not?
Which would be true.
Did it not surprise biologists which would be false or contradiction?
Or is the silence is the question silent about whether somebody was surprised or not?
So I hope you're understanding about recognizing language that helps you find the correct matching sentence
in language that is used to determine whether something is true, false or not given.
When I find a matching sentence, all I care about is that twist language.
And what does that sentence say about that twist language?
That's what you care about.
So many students mess up by thinking, I need to understand this whole sentence, and if I understand
this whole sentence, then I can answer.
You are wasting time and that's why you are getting answers wrong.
Okay.
And now we're going to move forward.
And when we move forward, we're going to go ahead and answer true, false or not given.
Right.
This right here is just something I put on here about which helps understand the differences between
true, false and not given.
I'm not going to read this right now, but when I upload it into the course, this will be there in
the course and it just uses the same example.
But I'm changing it to be true, false or not, given that really gives you a really deeper understanding
of the difference.
So the most challenging thing with determining true is recognizing, paraphrasing.
That's what messes up a lot of students.
The hardest thing with false is number one, not confusing it with not giving.
A lot of students are confused with false and not given.
And recognizing when something is contradicted, students will often say, I don't see the question
language.
So it's not given.
And they do not they don't realize that it's been contradicted.
Contradiction equals false, not given means there is nothing.
Say it.
It is completely not mentioned.
Not say it.
All right.
So here are our matching questions with the matching sentences highlighted.
We have taken about 14.5 minutes for everything that we've done so far.
So now I'm going to give you 5.5 minutes to go ahead and answer questions, six through 13, and you
may begin now.
