Membedakan FALSE dari NOT GIVEN, tipe soal yang paling sering membuat skor Reading bocor.
Di soal ini kamu diberi beberapa pernyataan. Tugasmu bukan menilai apakah pernyataan itu benar di dunia nyata, tapi apakah teks bacaan mengatakan hal yang sama, mengatakan kebalikannya, atau tidak membahasnya sama sekali.
Hampir semua kesalahan di tipe soal ini terjadi di satu tempat: membedakan FALSE dan NOT GIVEN.
Contoh: satu kalimat, tiga pernyataan
TeksThe town library, which opened in 1962, now lends more e-books than printed books, although its reading room remains popular with older residents.
1Digital loans have overtaken paper loans at the library. → TRUE
2Older residents rarely use the library. → FALSE
3The library was the first in the region to offer e-books. → NOT GIVEN
Cek pemahaman
Teks: "Most of the volunteers were students from the local college." Pernyataan: "All of the volunteers were students." Jawabannya?
Jumlah dan frekuensi: all, most, some, few, always, usually, never, only. Kalau teks bilang usually dan pernyataan bilang always, jawabannya FALSE.
Perbandingan: more, the largest, the first, faster than. Kalau teks tidak membandingkan sama sekali, pernyataan perbandingan biasanya NOT GIVEN.
Kepastian: may, might, is believed to, is proven to. Scientists believe X tidak sama dengan X has been proven.
Sebab-akibat: kalau teks menyebut A dan B, tapi tidak bilang A menyebabkan B, pernyataan bahwa A menyebabkan B adalah NOT GIVEN.
Langkah demi langkah
Teks bacaan
Coffee reached Europe in the early seventeenth century, carried by merchants trading with the Ottoman Empire.
The first coffee houses opened in Venice and, later, in Oxford and London, where they quickly became places for business and political debate.
Some city authorities viewed these gatherings with suspicion, and in 1675 the English king attempted to close the London coffee houses, although the order was withdrawn within days.
Pernyataan: "Coffee houses in London were closed for several years after 1675."
