answer should be based upon the information given in the passage. Your common
sense knowledge and presumption should not be taken into account while

you should not use it to answer any question even if you think that is some
mistake in any paragraph of the comprehension you must still answer the question
on the information given in the passage.

knowing the individual word or sentence. Some time you can sense the meaning of
the word from the context. Something the word or sentence may not be the basis
of any question. If there is some idea you need to answer a question but you
have more time of the end of the test.
