Short Thematic Text [Level 5]
0$20.00What are these multiple text questions testing?
They are essentially testing your comprehension skills on a fairly complex level, largely by testing your ability to compare and contrast; the main focus being whether you can distinguish the differences between each text. The focus will nearly always be on the meaning within the text, often on a fairly complex level, and not on the author’s purpose and intentions or use of persuasive or language techniques etc. It is seldom that you will be able to find the answer by identifying key words or phrases
