Inference questions in sat

Question

In sat English reading section

im having consistent issues with questions which ask what the passage suggests based on a window of lines or in general. I can narrow it down to two choices, but after that I find it tough to identify which of the two options is related to the main idea of the passage. How can i fix this and narrow it down to one answer which Im sure is suggested in the passage.

I am scoring 700 in English bit would like to ace this part as I am getting 5 wrong in reading.

Hi Neel,

That is a tough bind to be in to be sure! I hope it is not giving you too much trouble at present, or long-term.

When it comes to process of elimination to determine correct multiple-choice answers to questions involving certain amounts of lines included in reading passages like those you describe on the SAT, sometimes you have to either choose the answer of the two remaining options that you have narrowed things down to which you think better suits the content/main idea of the passage in question--in terms of both answers being relevant, but one sounding more correct in your mind. In other words, if both final answers are probable, choose the one that you think works better contextually.

I hope this helps! Good luck with taking the next round of the SAT English exam!
