It's normal to get low hit rates on GMAT questions when you first begin your studies. With a strong study strategy and lots of practice, you will be able to become proficient. Check out the resources available here: https://www.beatthegmat.com/wiki/. I think you'll find a lot of useful links to assist your verbal preparation.
