    What is the topic of this passage?


    (A) The intelligence of John Dewey
    (B) Distinctions made by John Dewey
    (C) Dewey's ideas on the ability to reason
    ( D) How intelligence differs from reasoning in Dewey's works
    Skill 1

     If a passage consists of more than one


    paragraph, you should study the beginning of
    each paragraph to determine the main idea.
    Look at a multiple-choice example from the
    Skill 1 example 2
    Exercise 1
    ANSWER STATED DETAIL
    QUESTIONS
     A stated detail question asks about one piece
    of information in the passage rather than the
    passage as a whole.
     The answers to these questions are generally
    given in order in the pas­sage, and the correct
    answer is often a restatement of what is
    given in the passage.
