3.
A. A fast reader who misses the writer’s main argument may have to return to the passage several times.
B. Thus, effective reading depends more on purposeful attention than on speed alone.
C. By contrast, a focused reader first identifies the purpose of the passage and then tracks supporting details.
D. Reading quickly is not the same as reading effectively.
E. This approach may feel slower at the beginning, but it reduces unnecessary rereading.

4.
A. The actual delay may remain unchanged, yet the experience can feel more manageable.
B. Providing visible updates can therefore change how people experience the delay.
C. A queue often seems longer when people do not know how quickly it is moving.
D. For example, a simple display showing the expected waiting time gives people a clearer sense of progress.
E. This uncertainty makes the waiting period feel less predictable.

5.
A. A practical plan, in contrast, begins with the hours that can be protected consistently.
B. Such a plan is easier to follow because it is built around realistic constraints.
C. An ideal day assumes high energy, no interruptions, and more time than is usually available.
D. It then assigns the most demanding tasks to the periods when concentration is strongest.
E. Many study plans fail because they are designed around ideal days rather than ordinary ones.

6.
A. The problem becomes worse when the same discussion is spread across several channels.
B. Urgent issues, project updates, and reference material can then be kept in clearly defined places.
C. With these boundaries, team members spend less time searching for context.
D. When a team receives too many messages, important information can become difficult to locate.
E. One solution is to decide which channel should be used for each kind of communication.

7.
A. Because the cue and the task are both clear, starting requires less mental effort.
B. A habit becomes easier to repeat when the required action is small and clearly defined.
C. A specific action such as ‘revise ten vocabulary words after breakfast’ removes much of that uncertainty.
D. Repeated starts can gradually turn the action into a stable routine.
E. Vague goals such as ‘study more’ leave too much room for delay.

8.
A. Clear communication therefore influences the overall experience as much as speed in many situations.
B. They also notice how clearly the process is explained while the service is being delivered.
C. A brief and timely update, however, can reduce uncertainty and set expectations.
D. Customers do not always judge a service only by the final outcome.
E. If a delay occurs without any explanation, even a reasonable wait can feel frustrating.

9.
A. Attention can then be directed to the uncertain parts instead of the entire problem at once.
B. The division reveals which parts are already understood and which parts remain uncertain.
C. Once the smaller parts are resolved, they can be combined to address the original problem.
D. A difficult problem is often easier to solve after it has been divided into smaller parts.
E. This reduces cognitive load and makes progress easier to measure.

10.
A. When learners try to copy everything, they have little time to process what the speaker means.
B. It also makes later revision easier because the notes already reflect the structure of the topic.
C. Taking notes during a lecture can help attention, but writing down every word is rarely useful.
D. That act of selection creates a more organized record of the lecture.
E. Selective notes require them to identify main ideas, examples, and relationships.

11.
A. As a result, later spending decisions can be based on a more reliable picture of available funds.
B. Small errors in expense records can distort a monthly budget.
C. This comparison exposes missing entries and duplicate entries before they accumulate.
D. The distortion becomes more serious when those errors are repeated across several categories.
E. A useful remedy is to reconcile the records with bank statements at regular intervals.

12.
A. Therefore, a decision should be based on the full cost rather than on a single attractive figure.
B. Considering all these elements allows the borrower to compare alternatives on a common basis.
C. Good financial decisions often depend on the quality of the information available.
D. However, the total repayment amount and the duration of the loan may reveal a different picture.
E. For example, a loan may appear affordable if a borrower looks only at the monthly instalment.

13.
A. At the beginning of a project, the team usually knows the broad goal but not every operational detail.
B. The next step is to divide that goal into smaller tasks with clear owners.
C. Finally, periodic reviews can be used to adjust the plan when assumptions change.
D. The team can then sequence the work so that one task does not unnecessarily block another.
E. Once the tasks are assigned, dependencies between them become easier to identify.

14.
A. Many people postpone small administrative tasks because each one appears unimportant.
B. Yet these tasks often accumulate until they require a large block of attention.
C. It can be reduced by handling brief routine items during a fixed daily window.
D. This accumulation creates a problem that did not exist when the tasks were still separate.
E. Such a routine prevents minor obligations from repeatedly competing with more demanding work.

15.
A. An unfamiliar problem, however, may contain assumptions that do not match those patterns.
B. The useful skill is therefore not constant speed or constant caution, but knowing when each is appropriate.
C. A familiar problem may allow a person to rely on patterns learned from earlier experience.
D. In such cases, slowing down long enough to test the assumptions can prevent an avoidable error.
E. Speed is valuable in many routine decisions, but it can be misleading in unfamiliar situations.

16.
A. Why do some simple decisions become difficult when too many alternatives are available?
B. One reason is that each additional option creates another comparison to be made.
C. As the comparisons multiply, minor differences can begin to receive more attention than they deserve.
D. Those criteria reduce the decision to the differences that actually matter.
E. A useful response is to identify a few essential criteria before examining the alternatives.

17.
A. An asset may be profitable over time and still be difficult to convert quickly when cash is needed.
B. This is different from profitability, which concerns the return earned from an asset or activity.
C. Liquidity refers to the ease with which an asset can be converted into usable funds without a major loss of value.
D. That distinction matters whenever short-term obligations must be met on schedule.
E. Understanding both concepts prevents a high return from being mistaken for immediate financial flexibility.

18.
A. For this reason, examples are often valuable when a rule is correct but too general to guide behaviour.
B. Suppose, for instance, that a learner is told to prioritise high-impact topics.
C. A general rule becomes easier to understand when it is connected to a concrete example.
D. The instruction remains vague until the learner identifies which topics carry more marks or appear more frequently in practice tests.
E. The example converts an abstract principle into a decision that can be acted upon.

19.
A. The first asks whether the purchase fits within the money currently available.
B. The second asks whether the benefit is likely to justify the cost over time.
C. In the latter assessment, durability and frequency of use may matter more than the initial price alone.
D. Considering both perspectives prevents a cheap purchase from automatically being treated as a good purchase.
E. A spending decision can be evaluated from two perspectives: immediate affordability and long-term value.

20.
A. When too many tasks are started at once, each task waits longer for attention before it is completed.
B. A team may miss deadlines even when every member appears busy.
C. The result is often faster completion because effort is concentrated instead of repeatedly switched.
D. Limiting the number of active tasks can therefore improve flow without increasing total working hours.
E. The hidden cause can be excessive work in progress rather than insufficient effort.
