Question
What does «opción múltiple» mean?
Answer
Multiple choice.
Question
How many options are correct in a reading MCQ?
Answer
Exactly one.
Question
How is a reading MCQ marked?
Answer
Objectively, all-or-nothing — right answer earns the mark, a wrong one earns nothing.
Question
What is a «distractor» in a reading MCQ?
Answer
A wrong option written to look tempting — often by reusing a word from the text.
Question
What does the command word «elige» tell you to do?
Answer
Choose (select the one correct option).
Question
In an MCQ, do you write anything?
Answer
No — you only choose the letter of the correct option.
Question
What does «según el texto» tell you about your answer?
Answer
It must be supported by the text, not by outside knowledge.
Question
What does «las ventas» mean?
Answer
The sales.
Question
What does «cerrar al tráfico» mean?
Answer
To close (a street) to traffic.
Question
Give the 5-step routine for a reading MCQ.
Answer
Read the question and all options → Find the relevant part → Read that sentence closely → Eliminate the distractors → Choose.
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
Why must you read the WHOLE relevant sentence?
Answer
The meaning of the full line decides the answer — deciding on half a sentence loses marks.
Question
Does a shared word between an option and the text prove it's correct?
Answer
No — be more suspicious; the writers plant that word, so check the whole sentence's meaning.
