Reading Comprehension in Modern Greek

  • Identify the text type first; its conventions predict structure and tone.

  • Support every answer with an underlined phrase and its line number.

  • Distinguish 'false' from 'not stated' - absent information is never true.

  • Check quantifiers and frequency words (όλοι, μερικοί, συχνά, ποτέ) against the text's exact scope.

  • Trace pronoun and relative-clause reference back to the correct antecedent.

  • For inference, choose the weakest claim the passage actually supports.
