Skill 3: FIND "UNSTATED" DETAILS
You will sometimes be asked in the reading section to find an answer
that is not stated or not mentioned or not true in the passage. This type of
question really means that three of the answers are stated,
mentioned, or true in the passage, while one answer is not.
Example
The passage:
The Florida Keys are a beautiful chain of almost 1,000 coral and
limestone islands. These islands form an arc that heads first southwest
and then west from the mainland. U.S. Highway 1, called the Overseas
Highway, connects the main islands in the chain. On this highway, it is
necessary to cross forty-two bridges over the ocean to cover the 159 miles
from Miami, on the mainland, to Key West, the farthest island on the
highway and the southernmost city in the United States.
The question:
Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the Florida Keys?
A. The Florida Keys are a chain of islands.
B. The Florida Keys contain coral and limestone.
C. The Florida Keys are in the shape of an arc.
D. The Florida Keys are not all inhabited.
This question asks for the one answer that is not mentioned about the
Florida Keys. The passage states that the Florida Keys are
a chain (answer A) with coral and limestone (answer B) in the shape of
an arc (answer C), so these answers are not correct. The best answer is
there fore answer D.. The passage does not mention whether or not the
keys are all inhabited.
