How do you attack questions that ask "What was explicitly mentioned in both passages"

LSATKingsman

For Comparative RC how do you attack questions like this. The answers are usually a key term and very short. Is there any proven method or do you just start searching both passages and eliminate until you find your answer?

There are two ways I approach these questions.

First, by active reading, I can usually upfront know what was mentioned in both passages. I try to circle the common term in one passage and then draw a line/arrow to that same term on phrase in the other passage.

Second, and this is when the first step doesn't help me answer the question, I try to be strategic about which ones I am going to try. Many times, you can eliminate 2 or 3 answer choices up front because they don't fit into one passage's main point/or it doesn't seem like what the author of one the passages would talk about it.

To add to what @"Accounts Playable" has said and I think I mention this in some of the very recent RCs: I would read passage A, NOT read passage B, then go and eliminate a bunch of answers from exactly this type of question that you bring up. You can very easily get rid of a couple of answers because you haven't even read passage B yet.
