Reading Comprehension
Time: 30 minutes Number of questions: 30
For this section of the test, you will read three short readings (1/2 to 1 ½ pages long) on familiar topics. You will answer ten multiple-choice questions about each of the selections you read (a total of 30 questions).
For Example:
First, you read:
While I was relaxing in the yard last Saturday morning, my wife handed me a rake and asked me to clean up the yard before her parents arrived for lunch. I put the rake down at the side of my chair while I finished reading the newspaper. I'm not sure when I actually fell asleep.
Then you answer questions like this one:
The person telling the story is ________.
a. a married woman.
b. a single woman.
c. a married man.
d. a single man.
You know the person telling the story is a married man because he says "…my wife handed me …" You would mark "c" on your answer sheet to show that a married man is the correct answer.
