GRE FAQ › Verbal Question Types
Why do I keep getting RC questions wrong?
Usually it's because you're picking answers that sound right instead of answers the passage directly supports. GRE RC wrong answers are designed to be tempting. They use scope shifts (too broad or too narrow), intensity changes (too strong or too weak), and out-of-scope details. Train yourself to find the specific line or lines that justify the correct answer.
