Write down any names, dates, places, and keywords that you see in the passage. The notes will remind you
of the key facts so you do not need to read the whole passage again. Also, note where you found the words in the
passage so you can look back quickly for more information.

HINT 2: WATCH FOR KEYWORDS AND SYNONYMS

Keywords are the most important words in a question. These keywords will appear in the passage, next to the
details that will answer the question. If you can find the keywords, you will also be able to locate the details around

Watch out for synonyms. You do not want to miss a detail because the author replaces a keyword in a synonym.

II. Negative Detail Questions – Practice 1

The mountain was high and it was cold. Snow and ice covered everything and it was dangerous. I huddled
in my tent as the storm tried to knock me back to the bottom.
“You will never make it to the top,” everyone said. “No woman has ever climbed this mountain and only a
few people have done it by themselves.”
I was very confident that I would be the first woman to climb up to the top of Whitmore. I had prepared for
months and spoken with everyone I could find that had done it before. I had bought all of the best equipment and
trained for months before the climb.
When I woke up the next morning, the wind had gotten quieter. I climbed out of my tent and looked out at
the mountain. Everything was white and still. It was cold but my gloves and coat were very warm.
“I will make it to the top today,” I thought to myself.
I started up the slope. My feet crunched the snow with every step I took. It was a beautiful day. The sun
looked huge and I felt like I was on top of the world.
I was climbing quickly. Soon I was going to reach the top. All of a sudden, I slipped. I started to slide down
the mountain. I was going slowly at first but eventually I started to slide very fast. I went past my camp from the
night before and I started to spin.
After what felt like forever, I came to a stop. I slowly started to move, thinking that I must be hurt, but I was
fine. It was a miracle. I got up and looked at the mountain. I had slid all the way to the bottom. I couldn’t believe it.
I was alive so I was very happy. I started back up the mountain.
Three days later, I made it to the top. It was a beautiful day and I had a perfect view of everything around
me. I thanked God for getting me to the top safely and then I went back down. It was the last mountain I ever
climbed.

III. Negative Detail Questions – Practice 2

Ancient Greece was a very advanced society, but someone had to make the laws. The first lawmaker in
Ancient Greece was named Draco. He changed the old system, which was based on what people said and who
was in their families, to a written law. Not much is known about Draco’s life since he lived during the seventh
century BC. He is mainly remembered for his laws.
What made Draco so famous is that his laws were
harsh. The word “draconian” comes from Draco. It means
overly harsh or strict. Draco wrote the laws and posted them
on wooden tablets in the center of town so that everyone
could see. Draco made very strict rules, which made regular
people into slaves. For example, if someone owed someone
money, and they didn’t come from a good family, they would
have to become slaves to whoever they owed money to.
Draco believed that all crimes should have harsh
punishments. Whether it was a murder, small theft, or not
clearing debts, Draco believed that people needed severe punishments. He thought that it would make them
understand that committing crimes was not acceptable. Later, all of Draco’s laws were taken away by Solon,
another Athenian lawmaker.
