Correct Answers in Must Be True Questions Reviewed

Paraphrased answers occur primarily in Must Be True and Main Point questions.
Some students have said they missed paraphrased answer choices because they did
not feel the test makers would simply change the language of the text. They will!
Let us take a moment to review two types of answers that will always be correct
in a Must Be True question.
1. Paraphrased Answers
Paraphrased Answers are answers that restate a portion of the stimulus in
different terms. Because the language is not exactly the same as in the
stimulus, Paraphrased Answers can be easy to miss. Paraphrased
Answers are designed to test your ability to discern the author’s exact
meaning. Sometimes the answer can appear to be almost too obvious
since it is drawn directly from the stimulus.
2. Answers that are the sum of two or more stimulus statements
(Combination Answers)
Any answer choice that would result from combining two or more
statements in the stimulus will be correct. The correct answer to the
flavonoid question earlier in this chapter is an excellent example of this
idea in action.
Should you encounter either of the above as answer choices in a Must Be True
question, go ahead and select the answer with confidence.
