The idea
Reading questions do not test outside facts: the right answer is the one the passage supports, even when another choice is true elsewhere.
In practice
A choice can be accurate about history in general and still be wrong, because the passage never says it.
Where people slip
Prior knowledge helps you read; it never decides an answer.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
