Inference Questions Inference refers to the reasoning involved in drawing a conclusion or logical judgment on the basis of circumstantial evidence and prior conclusions rather than on the basis of direct observation. You need to draw out conclusions that relate to the passage. The common mistake committed here is to select an answer option that is outside the scope of the passage. Here again, practice becomes the key Author agree/disagree questions These questions are asked in two ways. Either the question setter might give a statement based on the overall sentiment of the passage or he might give a statement based on specific aspects of the passage. It tests your ability to comprehend minute details You need to go through the directions carefully as multiple cases are possible here: he might ask you the statement the author agrees with, the statement the author does not agree with, the statement the author does not disagree with, etc.

The trick is to read the line before and after the one given; these have important hints you need to identify for the correct answer Vocabulary based questions These questions test your vocabulary- the meaning of a word/synonym or the opposite of the word/antonym. The contextual meaning of the word has a vital role here Fact-based questions These are the easiest of the lot as these simply ask you to identify the correct/incorrect facts.  The above mentioned approach is sure to help you score well in reading comprehension section of verbal ability of CAT/MBA level entrance exams.
