1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,310
Now it's time to move forward and take a look at the multiple choice question here.

2
00:00:05,310 --> 00:00:10,260
We're going to be taking a look at the standard multiple choice question, the standard multiple choice

3
00:00:10,260 --> 00:00:10,980
question.

4
00:00:11,820 --> 00:00:17,520
When it comes to the multiple choice question, what you need to understand is basically there are three

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,070
different types of multiple choice questions.

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:27,390
The multiple choice standard question is where you choose between you choose between A, B, C and D,

7
00:00:28,770 --> 00:00:28,940
right?

8
00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:36,150
Or sometimes A, B and C, then you have the pick 2 to 5 from a list where you have to maybe pick instead

9
00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:41,820
of just picking one choice from A, B, C, D, you have to pick two choices.

10
00:00:42,630 --> 00:00:49,740
And then a lot of times the sentence completion question is set up like a multiple choice question where

11
00:00:49,740 --> 00:00:59,340
you might have seven or eight different choices A, B, C, D, E and each choice is the second part

12
00:00:59,340 --> 00:01:03,780
of A of a sentence or the part of a sentence that you need to complete.

13
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:10,740
So really you have kind of three different three different types of multiple choice questions.

14
00:01:11,850 --> 00:01:21,540
I'm going to refer to the standard type as multiple choice and choose 2 to 5 from a list and then sentence

15
00:01:21,540 --> 00:01:22,440
completion.

16
00:01:26,850 --> 00:01:27,120
Okay.

17
00:01:27,180 --> 00:01:33,120
So for this question, we're going to be looking at the multiple choice standard question, right.

18
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:38,670
The question where they like you see their for number ten on the right hand side where it says research

19
00:01:38,670 --> 00:01:45,390
completed in 1982 found that in the United States soil erosion and then you have to decide between A,

20
00:01:45,420 --> 00:01:49,710
B, C and D what happened in 1982.

21
00:01:49,830 --> 00:01:50,490
Right.

22
00:01:50,820 --> 00:01:56,850
And what happened to the research what did the research in 1982 say about soil and soil erosion?

23
00:01:57,060 --> 00:01:59,490
Was it A, B, C or D?

24
00:02:01,190 --> 00:02:08,090
So in terms of the question requirements, this question is asking you to go to the passage and decide

25
00:02:08,090 --> 00:02:11,150
which choice provides the answer, right?

26
00:02:11,630 --> 00:02:13,540
There is a scanning requirement.

27
00:02:13,550 --> 00:02:16,610
So for example, you would have to look at number ten.

28
00:02:16,610 --> 00:02:23,960
And number ten is a really actually, all of these questions here are really easy to find because number

29
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:34,250
ten has the date in 1982, number 11 has the date mid eighties and Denmark, and number 12 has New Zealand

30
00:02:34,250 --> 00:02:35,750
and 1984.

31
00:02:36,050 --> 00:02:42,290
So really all of these are really easy to find because of those dates.

32
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:50,690
So you have to scan and find the matching sentence and then you have to make sure that you watch out

33
00:02:50,690 --> 00:02:55,790
for the synonym language because it might be easy to find the sentence.

34
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,970
But then when you read the sentence, they're going to use synonym language for the correct answer choice.

35
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,940
And that's where the English test comes in.

36
00:03:05,830 --> 00:03:07,990
That's where the test of English happens.

37
00:03:08,350 --> 00:03:08,760
Right.

38
00:03:08,770 --> 00:03:11,440
They might make it easy to find the right sentence.

39
00:03:11,830 --> 00:03:18,790
But then when you read it, are you able to pull out the synonym match for the correct answer choice?

40
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:21,550
That's where the real talent occurs.

41
00:03:21,550 --> 00:03:24,040
That's where the English ability occurs.

42
00:03:29,290 --> 00:03:35,650
Now in terms of the strategy, you have to identify the the question, the question, keywords.

43
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,420
That's step number one.

44
00:03:37,450 --> 00:03:44,080
You must identify the question keywords, select the language in each question that are keywords and

45
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,210
easiest to scan for in the passage.

46
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:54,290
Next, you want to be able to identify the easiest question and then begin your scanning process.

47
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,190
Scan and find the matching language in the passage.

48
00:04:00,180 --> 00:04:03,750
Then we have to read the matching sentence or sentences.

49
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:10,950
You want to be aware that with a multiple choice question, they may require you to read two sentences,

50
00:04:10,950 --> 00:04:16,170
not one sentence, and then you want to apply the answer strategy.

51
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,880
The answering strategy is very straightforward.

52
00:04:18,900 --> 00:04:25,500
Once you find the matching sentence or sentences, read them and see which of the answer choices A,

53
00:04:25,530 --> 00:04:31,470
B, C, or D matches the information that is located in those sentences.

54
00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:38,400
Only one choice can be correct with a with a standard multiple choice question, you cannot pick two

55
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,120
things.

56
00:04:39,420 --> 00:04:42,150
The other answer choices will not be there.

57
00:04:43,260 --> 00:04:45,450
The other answer choices will not be there.

58
00:04:45,540 --> 00:04:52,200
So that's why it's critical that you're able to scan and find the matching sentences.

59
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:53,070
Right.

60
00:04:53,070 --> 00:04:58,890
Some students make the big, big mistake of overeating reading too much.

61
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,470
That's a big, big mistake that happens.

62
00:05:03,510 --> 00:05:11,790
So let's take a look at a couple of examples of how the answering strategy works right now in the upcoming

63
00:05:11,790 --> 00:05:12,750
lectures.

64
00:05:12,750 --> 00:05:18,450
In the upcoming lectures, we're going to be we're going to be using a full passage to show you the

65
00:05:18,450 --> 00:05:25,590
scanning process, the the highlighting, the key words process and the answering process using full

66
00:05:25,590 --> 00:05:27,120
passages here.

67
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,060
I'm just talking a little bit about the answering strategy.

68
00:05:33,660 --> 00:05:40,890
So number five says the example of the fruitless affair underlines the writer's point about.

69
00:05:41,830 --> 00:05:42,030
Right.

70
00:05:42,070 --> 00:05:48,580
So we look here in this first paragraph, it says, concern about these practices and their effects

71
00:05:48,580 --> 00:05:49,930
on pollinators.

72
00:05:49,930 --> 00:05:50,980
Is it new?

73
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,460
In her 1962 ecological alarm cry.

74
00:05:54,490 --> 00:06:02,170
Silent Spring, Rachel Carson warned of a fruitless fall that could result from the disappearance of

75
00:06:02,170 --> 00:06:03,850
insect pollinators.

76
00:06:05,290 --> 00:06:05,710
Right.

77
00:06:05,710 --> 00:06:12,250
So the fruitless fair or really the fruitless fall that should be, they have the question stated wrongly,

78
00:06:12,250 --> 00:06:20,050
the fruitless fall underlines the writer's point about bee the impact of losing insect pollinators.

79
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,590
You don't see A, you don't see C.

80
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,270
You don't see D.

81
00:06:26,430 --> 00:06:32,220
That's why it's so critical that you find the correct matching sentence.

82
00:06:32,990 --> 00:06:36,110
Because you won't see you won't see the wrong answers.

83
00:06:37,410 --> 00:06:43,410
But if you're overeating and also, you know, I tell students, don't go looking for wrong answers.

84
00:06:44,010 --> 00:06:46,960
You want to get really good at finding them matching sentences.

85
00:06:46,980 --> 00:06:48,090
Number six.

86
00:06:51,170 --> 00:06:55,070
Why can honeybees adapt to the modern agricultural system?

87
00:06:55,850 --> 00:06:59,150
Why can't honey bees adapt to the modern agricultural system?

88
00:07:00,590 --> 00:07:01,730
So it says here.

89
00:07:03,510 --> 00:07:07,290
But it wasn't just familiarity that determined this choice.

90
00:07:07,290 --> 00:07:12,720
The bees biology is in many ways suited to the kind of agricultural system that was emerging.

91
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:21,000
For example, honeybee hives can be closed up and moved out of the way when pesticides are applied to

92
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:21,750
a field.

93
00:07:22,770 --> 00:07:28,470
So the correct answer here would be see honeybee hives can be protected away from pesticides.

94
00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:33,380
Right as we go on to another example.

95
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,660
Number one says one of the claims Rodman makes is that.

96
00:07:39,170 --> 00:07:40,910
So here is William Rodman.

97
00:07:42,260 --> 00:07:43,120
It says so.

98
00:07:43,130 --> 00:07:49,520
It may seem farfetched to suggest that humans have been causing global warming ever since our ancestors

99
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:55,550
started burning and cutting forests to make way for fields at least 7000 years ago.

100
00:07:56,370 --> 00:07:57,240
Yet.

101
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,890
That's the view of retired climate and climate scientist William Rudman.

102
00:08:02,850 --> 00:08:05,670
So at the beginning, it says it's far fetched.

103
00:08:06,750 --> 00:08:10,020
It's far fetched, but it tells us that's what William Rudman believes.

104
00:08:10,020 --> 00:08:11,150
What does he believe?

105
00:08:11,670 --> 00:08:12,020
Right.

106
00:08:12,030 --> 00:08:15,540
What is the matching choice for what he believes to be?

107
00:08:16,350 --> 00:08:19,440
People have affected the climate for thousands of years.

108
00:08:19,620 --> 00:08:20,850
Now, of course.

109
00:08:22,210 --> 00:08:31,480
The trick is and the key is you're being able to you're being able to locate and scan for this matching

110
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:32,470
sentence.

111
00:08:32,890 --> 00:08:34,900
That's what you have to be able to do.

112
00:08:35,770 --> 00:08:41,320
Number two says, What information did the research at Vostok reveal for the first time?

113
00:08:41,830 --> 00:08:48,820
Now here the word Vostok is mentioned right before this sentence right here that says in recent times.

114
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,330
Is mentioned right before.

115
00:08:51,660 --> 00:08:55,740
But when you read this, go ahead and take the time if you need to and read these two sentences.

116
00:08:55,890 --> 00:09:02,880
But when you read these two sentences, the answer C becomes really, really evident in terms of what

117
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,660
the research reveal for the first time, right revealed.

118
00:09:06,690 --> 00:09:14,550
It says the last methane peak occurred around 11,000 years ago at about 700 parts per billion, after

119
00:09:14,550 --> 00:09:16,130
which the levels began to fall.

120
00:09:16,140 --> 00:09:18,450
But read the next sentence because of the word.

121
00:09:18,450 --> 00:09:18,960
But.

122
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:27,180
But instead of continuing to fall to what Rudman says should have been a minimum of about 450, today,

123
00:09:27,390 --> 00:09:32,070
the atmospheric methane began to climb again 5000 years ago.

124
00:09:32,980 --> 00:09:37,480
So the research saw that the methane levels began to increase.

125
00:09:40,150 --> 00:09:40,570
All right.

126
00:09:40,570 --> 00:09:46,450
And then for one more example, the writers suggest we can look at paragraph number two.

127
00:09:46,690 --> 00:09:52,000
But if you ask them to make a list of antisocial behaviors, you're getting into an area where there's

128
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,450
going to be considerable disagreement right now in the sentence right before this.

129
00:09:58,450 --> 00:10:02,500
It talks about, you know, the writer in terms of what his thoughts are.

130
00:10:02,830 --> 00:10:10,090
But you can see here from this sentence that the correct answer would be C, and then in paragraph B,

131
00:10:10,660 --> 00:10:12,580
what surprised the writer?

132
00:10:12,580 --> 00:10:16,480
What surprised the writer about the imposition of ASBOs?

133
00:10:16,810 --> 00:10:17,860
It is striking.

134
00:10:17,860 --> 00:10:19,450
There's the synonym for surprise.

135
00:10:19,450 --> 00:10:21,070
That's how I notice the sentence.

136
00:10:21,370 --> 00:10:21,880
It is.

137
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:30,460
It is a striking fact that the majority of ASBOs imposed since the law was enacted have been handed

138
00:10:30,460 --> 00:10:32,770
out to young people and children.

139
00:10:32,770 --> 00:10:35,200
So the correct answer would be See?

140
00:10:37,340 --> 00:10:37,700
All right.

141
00:10:37,700 --> 00:10:44,090
So coming up next, we're going to go ahead and do full passage application.

142
00:10:44,420 --> 00:10:48,410
We're going to show you the scanning process answering an application.

143
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:53,180
Thank you so much for joining me and I look forward to talking to you in the next.
