What is the best strategy for TONE / ATTITUDE q's in RC?

by karthikpandian19 » Mon Jun 25, 2012 6:23 pm
I was wondering if anyone would have a thought on how to approach to the Tone / attitude questions in RC section.
Everytime the choices in the q's provoke me to look in lexicon.

Experts please suggest any better way. Or is it only to improve one's vocabulary?
Regards,
Karthik

In order to deal with Tone Questions in RC you need to look for expressions in the passage that might suggest the author's attitude. Also some expressions are often repeated so it is advisable to collect a few words from each RC Tone question and compile a list of the most common phrases. When you are going to write the words down - try to mark whether they appeared in the correct answer. You will see that some adjectives and adverbs are almost always used as distractors.
