Answer
Multiple choice.
Question

Objectively, all-or-nothing — right answer earns the mark, a wrong one earns nothing.
Question
What is a « distracteur » in a reading MCQ?
Answer
A wrong option written to look tempting — often by reusing a word from the text.
Question
What is the standard multiple-choice instruction?
Answer
« Choisissez la bonne réponse », often « En vous basant sur le paragraphe X, choisissez la bonne réponse ».
Question
In an MCQ, do you write anything?
Answer
No — you only choose the letter of the correct option.
Question

To close (a street) to traffic.
Question
What does « Le but du paragraphe est de montrer que… » ask for?
Answer
The writer's purpose for that paragraph — choose the option that captures why it was written, not one small detail.
Question
Give the 5-step routine for a reading MCQ.
Answer
Lis (read the question and all options) → Localise (find the relevant part) → Lis de près (read that line closely) → Élimine (the distractors) → Choisis (the one the text proves).
Question
What is the word-match trap?
Answer
A wrong option that repeats a word from the text but misreads its meaning, so it feels familiar.
Question
Why is eliminating distractors useful?
Answer
It is often easier to rule options out than to spot the right one; what's left is your answer.
Question
How is « Choisissez les cinq affirmations vraies » different from a normal MCQ?
Answer
It is multiple-SELECT: you choose N true statements (here five), not a single answer — N equals the number of correct options.
