GMAT Reading: Answer Choices to Avoid
For GMAT Reading Comprehension, students read the passages and pick the answers strategically. In this article we would like to suggest some types of answer choices that can be crossed out right away as incorrect.
a) Answer choices that use categorical words such as “only,” “all,” “always,” “never” and “exclusively.”
b) Answer choices that make use of information that doesn’t appear in the text.
c) Answer choices in which not every single fact mentioned is correct.
d) Answer choices in which correct facts are mentioned but they are not mentioned in the correct order. The GMAT likes to mix up cause and effect.
e) Answer choices that ask you to make value judgments. Any answer choice that asks you to affirm that one method/approach/style of management/school of thought is “better,” “more successful,” “more efficient” or “more efficient” than another will be incorrect.
f) Answer choices that sound unnecessarily contentious. Beware answers that include statements smacking of political incorrectness.
