IELTS Reading: Matching features
Match statements to a list of options from the passage: often people and the ideas or findings linked to them, but sometimes places, dates or theories.
211 practice sets · 979 questions · each set is timed at about 90 seconds per question
How to answer
- Highlight every occurrence of each name in the passage first.
- Read what is said around each name, then compare it with the statements.
- Check the instructions to see whether letters can be used more than once.
Common traps
- Attributing an idea to the person mentioned nearby rather than the person who said it.
- Missing a second mention of the same researcher later in the text.
