Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 1   AIL 0023 short lesson, about 20 seconds

The Arithmetic of Ninety-Eight Minutes

Captions available

The idea

Eighty questions in ninety-eight minutes gives about seventy-three seconds each. Passages carry three or four questions, so a passage and its questions together can have four to five minutes. A passage that has taken seven minutes is taking them from somewhere else.

In practice

Seventy-three seconds a question.

Where people slip

One slow passage costs three others.
