Every condition, not the loudest one
Find the detail shows a useful document, such as a timetable or a list of sessions, and asks for the entry that meets all the conditions in the question: free, in the evening, with materials provided. Several rows usually meet one or two of them. Only one meets them all.
So split the question first, into a short list of conditions. Take the first condition down the rows and cross off every row that fails it. Take the next condition down the rows that are left, and so on to the last.
A row that matches the most noticeable condition is tempting. Before you choose it, check it against every condition on your list.
1Split the question into its conditions.
2Take one condition down the rows and cross off.
3Choose the row that is left after every condition.
Three conditions, five rows
You want a weekday evening session that children can join. Which session fits?
The conditions are a weekday, the evening, and children welcome. A weekday crosses off Learn to float and Weekend splash. The evening crosses off Early lengths. Children welcome crosses off Quiet lengths.
Family swim is the only row left, so it is the answer. Weekend splash welcomes children too, but it failed the first condition.
Talks at the museum
You want an evening talk that you can reach without stairs and join without booking. Which talk fits?
Write the three conditions, then take them down the rows one at a time.
Try it
Which talk fits all three conditions?
- Paint from plants
- How bridges stand up
Show the answer
How bridges stand up
Right. The evening leaves three talks; no stairs crosses off Glass in the old town; no booking crosses off Paint from plants. How bridges stand up is left.
