Matching Information
Match statements to paragraphs.

What you see on screen
Each statement has a dropdown of paragraph letters; you select where that information appears. Letters may repeat, and some paragraphs may go unused.
How it is marked
One mark per statement, and these questions ignore passage order. A note in the instructions tells you letters may be reused.
Strategy
- Skim the passage's topic flow first so you know roughly where each theme sits.
- Turn each statement into a search target, like 'a reason' or 'a comparison', before scanning.
- Start with statements holding unusual words or numbers; they are fastest to locate by eye.
- Answers ignore question order, so hunting statement one first often wastes the most time.
Traps that cost marks
Stopping at the first paragraph mentioning the topic when the specific detail sits two paragraphs later.
Forcing a fresh paragraph per statement when the rules allow letters to repeat.
