Unit 6: Reading Skill: Answering Factual Questions (الإجابة على الأسئلة الواقعية)
Factual questions ask about
facts
explicitly mentioned in the text (Names, Dates, Places). Your goal is to find the answer without changing the meaning.
Step 1: Scan for Keywords
Look for
Capital Letters
(names/cities) or
Numbers
(dates/prices) that match the question.
Step 2: Answer Directly
Don't write the whole paragraph. Only write the specific information requested to save time.

The "Synonym Trap"
Sometimes the exam uses a

*Example:*
If the question asks for the
"location,"
scan the text for words like
"situated in,"
"located in,"
or
"found in."
