When the scope of a question is too specific, you should:

• A. Go to the ACs first
• B. Go to the passage first
• C. Skim the entire article
• D. Skip the question

Answer: (B)

When a question targets a very narrow detail, the most reliable move is to locate the exact information in the passage. Going straight to the text lets you pull the precise sentence or section that directly addresses that specific scope, so your answer is grounded in what the passage actually says. This avoids guessing and helps you judge whether a statement is truly supported by the text or not.

Skimming the entire article tends to be less efficient for pinpoint details and can cause you to miss the exact nuance the question is asking about. Starting with the answer choices can bias your reading toward tempting but possibly unsupported options, and skipping the question isn’t helpful unless time is truly running out.
