<p>Just try to formulate in your own words what the point of the statement or the passage is, as in why exactly the author even bothered to write that statement. Was it to convey their opinion? Provide an example of a counter-argument? That kind of stuff. Then, see if you can match that up with the answer choices provided. While the words might not be exactly the same as your own, there should be one that matches the general gist of your idea if you didn’t misinterpret the text.</p>
