Summary
The lesson focuses on effectively tackling Line Reference Questions on the ACT exam, emphasizing the importance of context in finding accurate answers.
  • Line Reference Questions may seem straightforward but require reading beyond the specific line for context.
  • Always read at least one sentence above and two sentences below the referenced line to ensure comprehension and accuracy.
  • Contextual reading helps in understanding the broader thematic elements and essential details that influence the correct answer.
  • An example involving Marie Antoinette's dress illustrates how details surrounding the referenced line contribute to identifying the correct answer choice.
  • The strategy of contextual reading is crucial for distinguishing between seemingly plausible answers and selecting the one most supported by the text.
