RC Inference questions

by gmat1974 » Thu Mar 18, 2010 9:10 am

Hi

I know in CR Inference questions means "Must be true" questions types and no new information can be taken.

Does this rule apply to RC Inference questions? If not can any body suggest how I need to proceed with
this type of questions.

I know in RC "According to Passage" type questions we need to find the answer from the RC paragraph and don't
try any new information.

I am really confused between "According to Passage" vs "Inference" questions in RC.

I really appreciate your answers.

Thanks

Hey ,

RC inference , According to the passage and CR must be true all apply the same logic .

That is according to the give statement above which of the following 5 are true .

For all RC inference questions you will get a key phrase to look for . Look up the passage for that key phrase read in what context it has been used and you will have your answer .

More often than not the correct answer is paraphrased form of some line in the passage just need to look carefully .

Hope this helps !
