What else is likely to be true?

These questions will ask you to draw conclusions from information included in the passage.

Examples

"Which of the following statements about ___ is best supported by the information provided?"
"The author of the passage would most likely draw which conclusion about ___?"

Strategies

Put it in your own words: Often you will be asked to draw a conclusion from a specific idea contained in the passage. It can be helpful to sum up the idea in your own words before considering the choices.
Use process of elimination to get rid of conclusions that can’t be supported, until you find one that is.

Common Wrong Choice Types

Too strong or extreme: Some incorrect choices will sound like a reasonable conclusion, but take it further than can be supported by the passage. Be wary of “extreme,” all-encompassing words like always, all, every or never.
Out of Scope: Some choices may include a reasonable conclusion only tangentially related to the idea in the passage. Remember the conclusion you're drawing must be supported by information in the text.

Your turn!

Practice these strategies with the example below!

Example

Scientists consider both landslides and surface-creep movement essential in the formation of rock glaciers. Evidence of landslides can be distinguished from that of surface-creep movement because landslides leave a deeper and more definite surface of rupture, partly due to their faster rate of movement. Those studying the origins of rock glaciers have noted that some glaciers are well-defined, while others are not; that is, some show evidence of deep ruptures, while others do not.

Given the information in the passage, which of the following may be concluded about rock glaciers?

(Choice A)
Not all rock glaciers originate in the same way.
(Choice B)
Landslides initiate the formation of rock glaciers, then surface-creep movement follows.
(Choice C)
Neither landslides nor surface-creep movement account for the formation of rock glaciers.
(Choice D)
While the definition and depth of rupture can be measured at rock glacier sites, the rate of movement cannot.
(Choice E)
Further study is required to determine the origins of rock glaciers.
