Explanation

Main-idea questions reward structure over rare vocabulary.

Read the question stem first so you know you are hunting the overall claim.

First and last sentences often frame the point; middle examples can be distractors.

Eliminate options that are true of one sentence but not the whole passage.

Practice with a timer: 60-90 seconds per short passage before checking.
