Reading: Claims, evidence and inference

Distinguish what a passage states from what it suggests or leaves unknown.

For True / False / Not Given tasks, compare the complete claim with the passage. “False” means the text contradicts it. “Not Given” means the text does not provide enough information. Do not use your own knowledge to fill a gap. Underline the key subject and comparison in each statement. Find the relevant sentence, then check whether it supports, contradicts or does not settle the claim.
