These are words or phrases that are  similar to or even synonymous with  words or phrases in the question (or in the wrong answers) which might lead you to choose the wrong answer. They are there to ensure you are paying attention to the whole text and not just looking for words that match between the questions and the text. ü   Before answering the questions,  skim-read   the text  to get a general understanding of its content. ü   Make sure you  read both the questions and the options  and  underline key words and phrases . ü   Where possible, try to work out the meaning of unfamiliar words from the context, but  don’t waste time .
