Question 6 • Strategies for Academic Success - EL1087

Identify three qualified and three absolute terms. Why is it important to pay special attention to qualified and absolute terms within a test question?

Answer

Answer:

Three qualified terms are “some,” “usually,” and “often.” Three absolute terms are “all,” “always,” and “never.” It is important to notice these words because they affect how broad or limited a statement is. Absolute terms make sweeping claims, so check carefully whether the statement is true in every case; qualified terms make more limited claims.
