Adding/Deleting/Revising

---

What to expect?

---

Adding/Deleting/Revising
Most adding/deleting/revising questions will ask you to work with the context of the surrounding 
sentences or paragraphs.
One of the possible strategies to approach this type of questions:
1)
Read the paragraph
2)
Briefly restate the topic in your own words
3)
Check each answer choice against the topic

Adding/Deleting/Revising
Conclusion example

---

Adding/Deleting/Revising
Because we have two KEPT and two DELETED options, we are going to tackle this 
question in two steps: (1) Determine whether the sentence should be kept, (2) Determine 
why the sentence should or should not be kept

---

Adding/Deleting/Revising
Same logic
Beware: Read all of the options!

Sentence and Paragraph Order

Sentence and Paragraph Order

---

Sentence and Paragraph Order
Sentence and paragraph order questions ask you to identify whether a particular sentence is correctly 
placed within a paragraph, or whether a particular paragraph is correctly placed within a passage. The 
presence of bracketed numbers at the beginnings of sentences signals that a question testing sentence 
order will appear
Strategy:
1)
Read the sentence that you need to move around first
2)
Think what kind of a sentence should logically precede and proceed after the sentence
3)
Begin reading the paragraph
4)
Check against each option

Sentence and Paragraph Order
Paragraph-break questions: did not appear in any QAS tests at least between 2017 and 2020 - still a 
useful skill to learn. Look out for major shifts in the meaning/tone of the paragraph
