Pregunta 1

Bloom: Remember

Lucia is practising scanning a short notice about Saturday library hours.

Scan the notice. On which day and at what time does the library open on weekends?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: B) Friday at six o clock

  • A) Saturday at ten o clockCorrect! Saturday at ten o clock is the exact opening detail stated in the notice, so it answers the scanning question precisely.
  • B) Friday at six o clockThe option Friday at six o clock is wrong because the notice assigns that time to a weekday closing detail, not to the Saturday opening.
  • C) Sunday at noonThe option Sunday at noon is wrong because the notice lists Sunday as a closed day, so it cannot supply the Saturday opening detail.
  • D) Monday at nine o clockThe option Monday at nine o clock is wrong because that detail belongs to the regular weekday schedule, not to the special Saturday timetable.

💡 Explicación

Scanning means moving your eyes quickly to find one specific detail such as a time or date, without reading every word of the whole passage first.

Pregunta 2

Bloom: Remember

Marco reads a school trip announcement to find the exact meeting place.

Where does the announcement say students must meet at eight in the morning?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: D) Beside the bus station ticket office

  • A) In front of the main entranceThe option in front of the main entrance is wrong because that place belongs to the afternoon return point, not to the morning meeting detail.
  • B) In front of the sports hallCorrect! In front of the sports hall is the stated morning meeting place, so it matches the explicit location detail in the announcement.
  • C) Inside the school cafeteriaThe option inside the school cafeteria is wrong because the cafeteria is mentioned only as the lunch room, not as the meeting place detail.
  • D) Beside the bus station ticket officeThe option beside the bus station ticket office is wrong because that office appears in a sentence about lost tickets, not about the meeting place.

💡 Explicación

Detail questions ask for explicit facts stated in the text, such as places and names, and the correct answer repeats that fact using the same or similar words.

Pregunta 3

Bloom: Understand

Sofia reads a paragraph about a school recycling project and its results.

Which sentence is a supporting detail from the paragraph, not the main idea?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: A) The project teaches students to protect the environment

  • A) The project teaches students to protect the environmentThe option the project teaches students to protect the environment is wrong because that sentence expresses the whole main idea, not one concrete supporting detail.
  • B) Students collected four hundred plastic bottles in OctoberThe option students collected four hundred plastic bottles in October is wrong in the opposite way because it is only background context about the month, not the measured result.
  • C) Students recycled two hundred kilos of paper in NovemberCorrect! Students recycled two hundred kilos of paper in November states one measurable supporting detail that proves the project worked in that month.
  • D) Recycling is important for modern schoolsThe option recycling is important for modern schools is wrong because it is a general opinion that could fit any text, not a specific detail from this paragraph.

💡 Explicación

A main idea states what the whole text is about, while a detail is one small proof or example, and tests often ask you to tell one supporting fact apart.

Pregunta 4

Bloom: Understand

Diego reads a short biography of a Spanish scientist for homework.

According to the biography, in which year did she receive the national science prize?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: C) In 2021

  • A) In 2015The option in 2015 is wrong because that year marks when she finished university, not when she received the national science prize detail.
  • B) In 2019Correct! In 2019 is the year the biography gives for the national science prize, so it links the correct date detail to the correct award event.
  • C) In 2021The option in 2021 is wrong because that year refers to her move to a new laboratory, not to the prize ceremony detail.
  • D) In 2012The option in 2012 is wrong because that year describes her first scholarship, which is an earlier and different detail in her life story.

💡 Explicación

Dates and numbers carry precise detail meaning in reading, so you must match each figure to the correct event instead of mixing two similar figures together.

Pregunta 5

Bloom: Apply

Carmen practises ordering events after reading a story about a lost backpack.

Which option gives the correct order of the main events in the story?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: A) She called the bus office, then retraced her steps, then found it

  • A) She called the bus office, then retraced her steps, then found itThe option she called the bus office, then retraced her steps, then found it is wrong because that order reverses the middle steps given in the story.
  • B) She retraced her steps, then waited at home, then called the officeThe option she retraced her steps, then waited at home, then called the office is wrong because waiting at home never appears as a story detail.
  • C) She found the backpack, then lost it, then called for helpThe option she found the backpack, then lost it, then called for help is wrong because that chain places the finding detail before the losing detail.
  • D) She noticed the loss, then retraced her steps, then called the bus office and recovered itCorrect! She noticed the loss, then retraced her steps, then called the bus office and recovered it follows the exact sequence of details in the story.

💡 Explicación

Sequence details answer when or in what order things happened, and time markers such as first, then, after that and finally show you the correct chain.

Pregunta 6

Bloom: Understand

Pablo reads a text about urban bees for his English portfolio.

The text says: There is a five euro charge for the Saturday workshop, and places must be reserved. Which option restates this detail correctly?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: C) The Saturday workshop costs five euros and requires booking

  • A) Visitors must pay five euros to enter the rooftop gardenThe option visitors must pay five euros to enter the rooftop garden is wrong because the text says entry is free and only the workshop has a charge.
  • B) Workshops take place every day during the summer holidaysThe option workshops take place every day during the summer holidays is wrong because the text limits the workshop detail to Saturdays, not to every day.
  • C) The Saturday workshop costs five euros and requires bookingCorrect! The Saturday workshop costs five euros and requires booking restates the price detail accurately while paraphrasing charge as costs and reserve as booking.
  • D) The garden closes completely during the winter seasonThe option the garden closes completely during the winter season is wrong because the text only reduces winter hours and never states a full closure detail.

💡 Explicación

Paraphrase means saying the same detail with different words, so a correct option keeps the facts identical while changing vocabulary such as fee to charge.

Pregunta 7

Bloom: Apply

Elena reads an article about teenage sleep habits and screen time.

According to the article, why do many teenagers feel tired in morning classes?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: D) Because homework has completely disappeared from secondary schools

  • A) Because schools now start lessons much later in the morningThe option because schools now start lessons much later in the morning is wrong because later start times are never given as a cause detail in this article.
  • B) Because late night screen use delays their sleepCorrect! Because late night screen use delays their sleep is the cause detail the researchers state to explain tired mornings among the teenagers studied.
  • C) Because teenagers need less sleep than small childrenThe option because teenagers need less sleep than small children is wrong because the article states the opposite scientific detail about sleep needs.
  • D) Because homework has completely disappeared from secondary schoolsThe option because homework has completely disappeared from secondary schools is wrong because homework load is never mentioned as a cause detail in the text.

💡 Explicación

Cause detail questions ask why something happened in the text, and the answer is the reason the author gives, not a reason you invent from general knowledge.

Pregunta 8

Bloom: Apply

Andres compares two smartphones in a product review for class.

What comparison detail does the review state about the two phones?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: B) Both models share exactly the same weight and price

  • A) Model A is heavier and more expensive than Model BThe option Model A is heavier and more expensive than Model B is wrong because it reverses both comparison details given in the review table.
  • B) Both models share exactly the same weight and priceThe option both models share exactly the same weight and price is wrong because the review stresses a clear difference in both details.
  • C) Model B is lighter but has a shorter battery life than Model ACorrect! Model B is lighter but has a shorter battery life than Model A captures both comparison details exactly as the review table presents them.
  • D) Model A has a smaller screen but a better camera than Model BThe option Model A has a smaller screen but a better camera than Model B is wrong because screen and camera details are described as identical for both models.

💡 Explicación

Comparison details use structures such as lighter than, the cheapest or twice as fast, and you must check which product each adjective really describes.

Pregunta 9

Bloom: Analyze

Lucia reads a short news report about a town festival.

The report says: The local organisers cancelled the parade because they feared heavy rain. What does they refer to?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: C) They refers to the festival posters on the walls

  • A) They refers to the visiting musiciansThe option they refers to the visiting musicians is wrong because the musicians appear later in the sentence and cannot be the antecedent of that pronoun.
  • B) They refers to the food stalls in the squareThe option they refers to the food stalls in the square is wrong because the stalls are objects managed by sellers, not the people who cancelled.
  • C) They refers to the festival posters on the wallsThe option they refers to the festival posters on the walls is wrong because posters are things that cannot decide to cancel an event detail.
  • D) They refers to the local organisersCorrect! They refers to the local organisers captures the correct antecedent detail, since the organisers are the people who cancelled the parade because of rain.

💡 Explicación

Pronoun references such as they, it or this point back to a specific noun detail, and finding the antecedent proves you followed the meaning across sentences.

Pregunta 10

Bloom: Analyze

Jorge reads four short texts about transport and must spot the false summary.

Three statements match the text details. Which statement is NOT true according to the text?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: A) The night bus runs every thirty minutes

  • A) The night bus runs every thirty minutesThe option the night bus runs every thirty minutes is wrong as an answer because that frequency detail is explicitly confirmed in the timetable paragraph.
  • B) Students receive a twenty percent discount with a cardThe option students receive a twenty percent discount with a card is wrong as an answer because that discount detail appears clearly in the second paragraph.
  • C) The new cycle lane connects the station to the airportCorrect! The new cycle lane connects the station to the airport is the false detail, since the text says the lane connects the station to the university campus.
  • D) Tickets can be bought on the official mobile appThe option tickets can be bought on the official mobile app is wrong as an answer because that purchase detail is stated directly in the final paragraph.

💡 Explicación

NOT true questions require checking every option against the text details, and the correct answer is the one detail that contradicts or never appears in the passage.

Pregunta 11

Bloom: Analyze

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: D) To illustrate how childhood memories shape her recipes

  • A) To prove that her menu uses only local ingredientsThe option to prove that her menu uses only local ingredients is wrong because local sourcing is never presented as an exclusive detail in the interview.
  • B) To show that cooking competitions are unfair to womenThe option to show that cooking competitions are unfair to women is wrong because competition fairness is never discussed as a detail in her answers.
  • C) To complain about the high rent of city restaurantsThe option to complain about the high rent of city restaurants is wrong because rent prices never appear among the interview details.
  • D) To illustrate how childhood memories shape her recipesCorrect! To illustrate how childhood memories shape her recipes explains why the detail about her grandmother kitchen appears, since it shows the origin of her cooking style.

💡 Explicación

Authors include small details for a purpose such as giving proof, showing contrast or explaining a cause, and purpose questions ask you to name that function.

Pregunta 12

Bloom: Understand

According to the messages, which detail about the plan is correct?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: B) Diego changes the meeting time from nine to eight thirty

  • A) Marta suggests bringing extra water for the groupThe option Marta suggests bringing extra water for the group is wrong because the extra water detail comes from Diego message at the end.
  • B) Diego changes the meeting time from nine to eight thirtyCorrect! Diego changes the meeting time from nine to eight thirty is the detail supported by his second message, where he moves the start earlier.
  • C) Marta cancels the hike because of bad weatherThe option Marta cancels the hike because of bad weather is wrong because neither friend cancels and weather is never mentioned as a detail.
  • D) Diego offers to drive everyone to the trailThe option Diego offers to drive everyone to the trail is wrong because transport details never appear in any message of the exchange.

💡 Explicación

Dialogue detail questions test whether you tracked who said what, so you must attach each plan change to the correct speaker and message.

Nora studies a bar chart about water use at home.

Which statement correctly describes a detail shown in the chart?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: D) Laundry and cleaning together reach seventy percent

  • A) Cooking uses more water than laundryThe option cooking uses more water than laundry is wrong because the chart bars show laundry clearly higher than the cooking detail.
  • B) Garden watering is the smallest category of allThe option garden watering is the smallest category of all is wrong because the smallest bar detail belongs to cleaning, not to garden watering.
  • C) Showering accounts for the largest share at forty percentCorrect! Showering accounts for the largest share at forty percent matches the tallest bar detail and the percentage label shown in the chart.
  • D) Laundry and cleaning together reach seventy percentThe option laundry and cleaning together reach seventy percent is wrong because their combined bars total only thirty five percent in the chart detail.

💡 Explicación

Visual details in charts must be read exactly, checking labels and units, because a small shift in numbers or categories changes the factual answer completely.

Pregunta 14

Bloom: Analyze

Iker reads a passage about dolphins for a science and English task.

A classmate wrote: Dolphins fall into a deep full sleep every night. Which option corrects the false detail?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: C) Dolphins never sleep because they must breathe consciously

  • A) Dolphins sleep with half their brain awake while floating near the surfaceThe option dolphins sleep with half their brain awake while floating near the surface is wrong as a correction because it adds an unverified floating detail.
  • B) Dolphins rest one brain half at a time while continuing to swim slowlyCorrect! Dolphins rest one brain half at a time while continuing to swim slowly fixes the false detail by replacing full sleep with the half brain rest described.
  • C) Dolphins never sleep because they must breathe consciouslyThe option dolphins never sleep because they must breathe consciously is wrong because the passage explicitly rejects that never sleep detail as a myth.
  • D) Dolphins sleep eight hours on the sea floorThe option dolphins sleep eight hours on the sea floor is wrong because the sea floor detail contradicts the swimming and breathing facts in the passage.

💡 Explicación

Correcting a false statement means keeping its topic but fixing the wrong detail, so the right option changes only the inaccurate number, name or place.

Pregunta 15

Bloom: Evaluate

Sara must choose the sentence that best paraphrases a detail.

Original detail: The town council provided funds, and then volunteers planted fifty trees. Which paraphrase keeps all details accurate?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: B) The town council donated the funds and the tools together

  • A) The volunteers planted the trees after the funds arrived from nowhereThe option the volunteers planted the trees after the funds arrived is wrong because it reverses the cause detail and makes funding the later event.
  • B) The town council donated the funds and the tools togetherThe option the town council donated the funds and the tools together is wrong because the council detail covers only funds, not tools.
  • C) The schoolchildren collected the funds for new treesThe option the schoolchildren collected the funds for new trees is wrong because it changes the agent detail from council to schoolchildren.
  • D) After receiving council funds, the volunteers planted fifty treesCorrect! After receiving council funds, the volunteers planted fifty trees preserves the agent, quantity and sequence details while restructuring the original sentence.

💡 Explicación

A good paraphrase of a detail keeps every fact the same, including agents and quantities, while swapping sentence structure and synonyms for key terms.

Tomas reads instructions for a first aid kit in the school lab.

The label says: Clean the wound, apply a thin layer once daily, then cover. Which option follows every detail?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: A) Apply the gel twice daily after cleaning the wound

  • A) Apply the gel twice daily after cleaning the woundThe option apply the gel twice daily after cleaning the wound is wrong because the label restricts use to once daily, not twice daily.
  • B) Clean the wound, apply a thin layer once daily and cover itCorrect! Clean the wound, apply a thin layer once daily and cover it reproduces all three instruction details of cleaning, quantity and frequency accurately.
  • C) Mix the gel with hot water before applicationThe option mix the gel with hot water before application is wrong because mixing introduces a step detail that never appears in the instructions.
  • D) Use the gel only when the wound bleeds heavilyThe option use the gel only when the wound bleeds heavily is wrong because that condition detail limits use in a way the label never states.

💡 Explicación

Instructional details tell you the exact steps, quantities and warnings, and one missed word such as before or only can make an answer dangerously wrong.

Which detail do both film reviews share?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: C) Both reviewers agree the ending felt rushed and unclear

  • A) Both reviewers praise the musical soundtrack highlyThe option both reviewers praise the musical soundtrack highly is wrong because only the second review mentions music as a positive detail.
  • B) Both reviewers criticise the slow opening twenty minutesThe option both reviewers criticise the slow opening twenty minutes is wrong because only the first review complains about that pacing detail.
  • C) Both reviewers agree the ending felt rushed and unclearThe option both reviewers agree the ending felt rushed and unclear is wrong because the second reviewer calls the ending the strongest part.
  • D) Both reviewers note the lead actor gives a strong performanceCorrect! Both reviewers note the lead actor gives a strong performance is the one detail repeated in both texts, even though their overall verdicts differ.

💡 Explicación

When two texts describe the same topic, the shared detail is the fact both mention, while differences show each writer selected separate supporting evidence.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: D) Twelve rural schools in Andalusia installed panels last spring and cut bills by thirty percent

  • D) Twelve rural schools in Andalusia installed panels last spring and cut bills by thirty percentCorrect! Twelve rural schools in Andalusia installed panels last spring and cut bills by thirty percent includes the who, where, when and result details together.

💡 Explicación

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

💡 Explicación

Good detail questions have one answer supported by a stated line, whiledistractor options refer to nearby lines that look similar but answer a different question.

Bloom: Evaluate

Hugo reviews his own strategy for detail questions before the final test.

Which strategy best helps a student answer reading detail questions accurately and quickly?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: B) Choose the option with the most difficult vocabulary words

  • A) Read the whole passage slowly and memorise every sentenceThe option read the whole passage slowly and memorise every sentence is wrong because memorising everything wastes time and ignores targeted scanning as a detail strategy.
  • B) Choose the option with the most difficult vocabulary wordsThe option choose the option with the most difficult vocabulary words is wrong because word difficulty never signals which detail correctly answers the question stem.
  • C) Always select the longest option as the correct detailThe option always select the longest option as the correct detail is wrong because length is a test design accident, not evidence that the details match the passage.
  • D) Read the stem first, underline detail anchors, then scan for themCorrect! Read the stem first, underline detail anchors, then scan for them describes the efficient strategy because it directs attention to names, dates and numbers before answering.

💡 Explicación

Expert readers first read the question stem, underline key detail words such as names and figures, then scan the passage for those anchors before choosing an answer.
