Managing Multiple Choice Questions

1. Doing well on those questions depends on your ability to manage to paraphrase, which is why those paraphrasing quizzes were included in the course Lectures 15-17 (I believe).

Problems Associated with MCQ

PROBLEM: Expecting to hear the same words


A key thing to remember in both IELTS Listening and Reading is that the tasks will often test your ability to recognize synonyms. This means that the words given in the multiple-choice options are unlikely to match the exact words that the speaker mentions/uses.
For example:
QUESTION:
The idea for the two new developments in the city came from
Local people.
B the City Council.
C the SWRDC.
AUDIO TRACK EXCERPT:
As many of you may know, the ideas for these initiatives came from you, the public.
In this example, the correct answer is A: local people. When the speaker uses the phrase ‘you, the public,’ it carries the same meaning as answer A: local people.
TIP: Having an awareness of synonyms will help you to locate the correct answer more easily. When practicing, try giving yourself a bit more time to predict possible synonyms or paraphrases. To do this, you will need to make sure that you have a wide-ranging vocabulary.
