The difficulty is between False/No and Not Given.

Here s the difference: NO if the statement clearly CONTRADICTS (is the OPPOSITE of) the claims of the w riter. NOT GIVEN if it is impossible to say what the writer thinks about this. You may find some information in the passage around the ideas of the statement but ther e are no specific words that either clearly reflect or contradict the writer s vie ws on this idea in the passage. FALSE if the statement clearly CONTRADICTS (is the OPPOSITE of) the information NOT GIVEN if there is no CLEAR specific information about the statement that nei ther agrees nor contradicts the information in the statement. So here are the Techniques for answering T/F/NG and Y/N/NG: Read each statement carefully and look for key words in each statement that you can scan for in the passage. Prepare to look for similar words or expression s to those key words (they most likely won t be the exact same words). Take note of comparisons ( is like, more than, less than, bigger, etc) or qua lifying expressions (a lot, many, little, not, most, some, much, slightly, never , sometimes, often, etc.) Once you have located the right sentences about the statement READ CAREFULLY and compare it to the statement. If you can clearly see the statement reflects what s written in the passage, c hoose TRUE. If you re unsure check to see if it says the opposite. If it s not clear to be t he opposite, you can guess Not Given.
