Key tactics

  • When reading a Single position passage, keep these guiding questions in mind:
  • What is the subject of the passage?
  • What perspective does the passage advance about that subject? What does the author think?
  • What is offered to support that perspective?

Answer choice tips

  • The main point of a Single position passage centers on the perspective advanced about the subject.
  • If the author is the source of that perspective, then the main point is that perspective.
  • If the author is not the source of that perspective, then the main point is the fact that another source advances that perspective.
