Critical Reading

Critical Reading tests your ability to evaluate arguments, identify assumptions, draw inferences, and analyze the tone of a passage. It is a high-level skill required in competitive exams.

Fundamental Principles

Argument

A statement or set of statements that present a claim supported by reasons.

Assumption

An unstated idea that must be true for the argument to hold.

Inference

A logical conclusion drawn from the given information.

Tone

The author's attitude toward the subject (critical, neutral, supportive).

Essential Formulation Tips

  • Identify the main argument before answering.
  • Focus on logic, not personal opinion.
  • Look for assumptions and hidden meanings.
  • Read questions carefully before the passage.

Shortcut Execution Techniques

  • Find conclusion first, then supporting statements.
  • Eliminate extreme or unrelated options.
  • Use 'why' and 'how' to analyze arguments.
  • Check for logical consistency.
