  3. Eliminate choices that add facts, reverse the relationship or answer a different question.
  4. Record the reason for any error.

Timed drill

Complete one passage without checking answers, then explain why each rejected choice fails. Accuracy comes before speed; reduce time only after the method is reliable.
