Every part of a true sentence must be "true"
If any one part of the sentence is false,
the whole sentence is false despite many other true statements.
Pay
close attention to
negatives, qualifiers, absolutes, and long strings of statements
Negatives can be confusing.
If the question contains negatives, as "no, not, cannot"
Drop the negative and read what remains.
Decide whether that sentence is true or false.
If it is true, its opposite, or negative, is usually false
Qualifiers are words that restrict or open up general statements.
Words like "sometimes, often, frequently, ordinarily, generally" open
up the possibilities of making accurate statements. They make more
modest claims, are more likely to reflect reality, and usually indicate "true"
answers.
Absolute words restrict possibilities.
"No, never, none, always, every, entirely, only"
imply the statement must be true 100% of the time and usually indicate "false"
answers
Long sentences often include groups of words set off by punctuation.
Pay attention to the "truth" of each of these phrases.
If one is false, it usually indicates a "false" answer
