What the Exam Asks You to Do With a Prose Passage

Captions available

The idea

The board prints an excerpt of fiction or nonfiction and asks three kinds of question: what form it takes, what theme it argues, and where it came from. The passage is always complete enough to answer from, and the answers are always on the page.

In practice

Form, theme, and source.

Where people slip

Answer from the excerpt, never from the book.
