$roblem about unstated detail questions (skill )

=ou ill sometimes be asked in the #eading Comprehension section of the /+*"L test to find an anser that is notstated or not mentioned or not true in the passage. /his t!pe of question reall! means that three of the

ansers are stated> mentioned> or true in the passage> hile one anser is not. =our actual ?ob is to find the three

correct ansers and then choose the letter of the one remaining anser.
