Find evidence in B2 reading arguments
B2 reading often turns on how a claim is supported or qualified. Trace the writer’s position, examples, opposing views, and conditions back to the passage.
Map the claim
As you read, note the main claim in a few words. Then mark the reason or evidence supporting it and any qualification that limits the claim.
Read contrast carefully
Words such as echter, hoewel and tenzij can change how two ideas relate. A detail may be mentioned as an objection and then rejected, so check who holds the view and whether the writer agrees.
Select text-supported answers
Choose the option that matches the whole passage, not just one phrase. Be cautious of answers that turn a limited claim into a general rule or reverse cause and effect.
Trace each answer back to the passage
Mark the claim, the evidence offered for it, and any limitation or opposing view. Similar vocabulary in an option is not enough if the relationship between ideas differs. When two answers seem possible, compare them with the exact scope of the question and rule out details that are true but do not answer it.
