All right.
So let's move on to the next one.
Multiple choice questions.
Go and order.
You locate the keywords and the questions.
You start with the easiest to locate first.
You locate the first match in the passage.
Keep in mind, a multiple choice question can be a combination of two sentences in the passage.
That is a possibility.
All right.
So here we have the questions.
We have the passage to the left.
You have 7 minutes and 30 seconds.
Okay.
I'm going to go ahead and go over the answer choices.
Number 28.
Number 28 is B, number 29 is RD.
Number 30 is B, number 31 is C and number 32 is C.
28 is B, 29 is the 30 is B, 31 is C and 32 is C.
You can probably.
I'm answering somebody this question.
Somebody asked me, can general reading passages be used as practice with zero for the academic?
You probably have heard me say, if you have not heard me say this, I say it many, many times that.
I've said this many times that especially reading Passage three for the general exam is at the exact
same difficulty level as the academic exam.
Also, you know, the general exam.
Sometimes if you win something, for example, sometimes when I have somebody who's new to the exam,
like they're brand new to the exam.
If I have somebody like that very often, I'll start them working on applying strategy with a general
reading passage like we're doing.
Yes, no, not giving questions because they're is more about understanding how to apply the strategy
more than anything else.
And so I'm trying to just simplify how much we're reading to teach strategy.
So I've done that different times for different reasons.
Number 30.
Number 30 is right here.
Yeah.
Somebody already asked for number 30.
So one moment, please.
Number 30.
See, Florence is a good drug detector.
Florence is a good drug detector because.
So it turns out that it's not Florence's nos that makes her makes her a top drug dog.
Right.
So a top drug dog is a dog is finding drugs, a top drug dog, a dog design.
So it's not the nos.
So when they say it's not the nos, and then they say, but her.
Now they're telling you the answer, but her unswerving concentration.
Right.
So what does unswerving concentration mean?
Because they tell you directly, that's the reason why it is a paraphrasing of is not easily distracted.
Answering questions is about especially multiple choice questions is about your ability to be able to
recognize paraphrase language.
Again, let this be a lesson for you if you're having trouble answering questions, for example, a
multiple choice questions in section three of the listening test.
The listen test is the same for academic in general.
When you're doing multiple choice questions, it's the same thing.
So instead of you reading the information, they are speaking the information, they're speaking the
information.
Instead of reading the information, they're speaking the information.
So on the listening test, you would hear them say, you know, it's not her nose to make her the top
dog, but her unswerving concentration.
You're supposed to be able to first hear the key words, make her a top draw, make her a top drug dog,
because that matches the question language.
And then right after that, they say the answer choice.
And then you have to be able to pick the fair paraphrase.
You do that in the reading.
You do that on the listening exam.
It's the same process, right?
It's the same process.
31 Dogs like Florence may help scientists.
How do they help scientists?
Florence can help.
Neurobiologist.
Neurobiologist is a scientist.
So now we know we're in the answer choice.
What can she help with, right?
What can she help with?
They're going to help.
Help neurons, neurobiologists, to understand both.
Both what they call attention processing.
Attention processing, right.
Determine how what a person pays attention to and for how long they pay attention and problems such
as attention deficit.
So it's all about she's helping with people being able to pay attention.
Attention, attention, attention, attention.
31 is see, because it's not about how they can use both sides of their brain.
That's not what it's about.
It says is that it says Florence can help scientists understand both what they call attention processing.
Right.
And and this afterwards, after attention processing, they're defining it.
The brain mechanism that determines what a person pays attention to, she's helping them with attention
issues.
Right.
It's not about she's not helping them with understanding the brain.
That's not what it says.
31 in 1993.
The Australian Customs.
Well, it says right here in this first sentence, it says Australian Customs.
Right.
That's why that's like a starting point.
That's a starting point.
And then after that, we see in but in 1993.
And then that's why what I said earlier, it could be more than one sentence.
But in 1993, fed up with poor success rate of finding good dogs this way.
John van der Loo, senior instructor with the Director Dog Unit, joined forces with Keith, then a
doctoral student, and set up a breeding program.
So it says here the guy was fed up.
Right.
He well, he was tired of the dogs having a really poor success rate.
And so as a result, he changed and set up a breeding program.
He was tired of their failures and decided to set up a new program.
What answer choice does that fit?
Right.
It's a paraphrase of choice.
See, again, that's what you're doing is a paraphrase of choice.
See, you have to be able to find the paraphrase.
29.
Most dogs are not good.
Most dogs are not good at finding drugs.
Not good at finding drugs.
It says ordinary dogs.
Most dogs have a 0.1%.
That's bad, 0.1%.
Not good chance of making it in drug detection and drug detection.
And so you're asking what answer did you put for 29?
See where the drugs are usually well hidden.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
But when they talk about ordinary dogs having a 0.1 chance.
Right.
The you're talking about they don't they don't really have the ability to do it.
If you look at look at this.
Look at these two sentences together.
Like I told you, sometimes it can be two sentences.
Florence is one of a truly new breed genetics, the product of what is perhaps the only project in the
world dedicated to breeding genetics.
Dogs solely detect different drugs, breed it to to breed bred, bred to detect drugs.
Again, we're talking about genetic qualities.
Ordinary dogs have a 0.1% not good chance of making it in drug detection or finding drugs.
They don't have they don't have the qualities.
All right.
So I'm happy that you understand.
All right.
So that's going to wrap it up for today.
