How to think about it
- Identify what the passage actually establishes.
- Choose the option that follows from that with no additional assumption.
- Prefer the modest, guaranteed step over the bold, interesting one.
- If an option could be false while the passage stays true, it is not supported.
The most common trap
Overreach — an option that goes further than the text guarantees.
