Hi Sakshi.

From what you have said here, it sounds as if you are being a little too mechanical in the way you are handling SC questions. For one thing, if you are pressed for time, you don't need to consume time figuring out some categorization of the question. Also, mechanically using splits as decision points can be dangerous as you really need to see clearly see the contexts in which those splits occur in order to determine which of them really make sense. So what you really need to be working on is seeing entirety of the sentence and how the parts work together and on making decisions based on what you are seeing.

Maybe this Veritas lesson will help you. Notice they START with meaning, or lack thereof.
