Look for 'controlling words'. Identify any adverbs that qualify the statements.

In these cases, the answer is usually
FALSE.

generally after the verb, object or end of the sentence, e.g.

us how something is done or happen, e.g.

describe the verb as well as influence the whole sentence, e.g.
fortunately, honestly.

Adverbs of conjunction help us in connecting the ideas or clauses. They show effect,
sequence, contrast, cause or other relationships between two clauses in the sentence, e.g.
additionally, conversely.

Adverbs of reason are used to express the reason for, answer the question or purpose of an
action in the sentence, e.g.

TRUE, FALSE, NOT GIVEN

Tip 14:
Be careful with statements that have two parts, connected by words like
'unless',
or
'although'.
Often both parts of the sentence may individually be true or false, but
without a link given between them.
Pay particular attention to the 'turning point words'.
'But, however, yet,
on
the
contrary,
whereas, on the other hand, conversely, although, while, albeit,
nevertheless, despite, in spite of, even if'.
Question:
Most wild animals won't attack
unless
