Overview
In the True / False / Not Given question type, you will be given a list of statements. Your job is to decide whether each statement matches, contradicts, or is not mentioned in the reading passage.
Only one answer must be chosen per statement, and it should be written exactly as instructed: TRUE, FALSE, or NOT GIVEN.

✅ Key Characteristics :
- You will be given a set of statements based on the reading passage.
- Your task is to decide whether each statement agrees with the passage or not.
- You must choose one of the following options for each statement:
- True – if the statement exactly matches the information in the passage.
- False – if the statement contradicts the information in the passage.
- Not Given – if the passage does not give enough information to decide if it is true or false.
- The statements are presented in the same order as the information appears in the passage.
- This task tests your ability to:
- Understand factual information
- Identify agreement or contradiction
- Recognize missing or incomplete information
- You must only use the information from the passage—not your own knowledge or opinions.
- Be careful not to confuse False and Not Given—they are different.
⭐️ Important Tips:
- Scan the passage for names, dates, or unique terms in the statement to find the relevant section. This saves time and increases accuracy.
- Carefully read each statement, locate the relevant section of the passage using keywords, and compare meanings rather than relying on exact word matches.
- Don’t assume Not Given means the whole topic is missing. Sometimes only one detail is missing.
- If the passage says less or more than the statement, it may be Not Given or False—read carefully.
- Beware of Partially Correct Statements If only part of the statement is supported and the rest is not mentioned, the answer is usually Not Given, not True.
- Don’t expect the exact wording to appear—focus on the idea being expressed.
- Write TRUE, FALSE or NOT GIVEN exactly as instructed. Do not use abbreviations.
