Reading Comp Question Categories List For OG 13th Edition

Categories of Reading Comprehension Question in the Official Guide 13th Edition.

I was asked to provide this list of the types of questions in the OG 13th edition by question. I have done the same for critical reasoning at this posting https://www.beatthegmat.com/idenitfy-cr- ... 15577.html

Categories of reading comprehension questions vary depending on who is doing the categorization. At Veritas we use a simple, but very useful 4-part categorization. Here are the categories:

Specific - Specific questions at those that feature an answer choice that is a paraphrase of something directly from the text. These questions often start with "according to the passage" and are directly answered by the correct portion of the text.

Inference - Inference questions are an extension of what is specifically said in the text. These questions say "the passage implies (or suggests)" of "the author would most likely agree with" or "it can be inferred."

Function - The function question asks why a particular paragraph or piece of information is used. What is its function in the passage?

Universal - The universal question asks you about the passage as a whole. The "primary purpose" is the best known universal question, but other questions may ask for the best title or what the author is most interested in.
