Reading Questions: Matching statements to paragraphs

In some exercises, you are given a list of statements and asked to match them to a paragraph in the text.

You need to read each statement one at a time and then look for similar information in the text.  The key here is to read quickly. Remember you are reading for gist, not for specific information.

Look for key words and skim the text, looking for synonyms or similar information. When you think you've found the right paragraph, read the statement again to make sure.
