Tips for Craft and Structure Questions
- For words in context, predict your own word for the blank, then match it to a choice.
- Ask what each sentence is doing (introducing, contrasting, giving an example) to answer structure questions.
- For cross-text questions, note how the second author would respond to the first author's main claim.
