Reading Comprehension, giải thích rõ ràng

That's it.

Close — what do his actions tell you?

Checking the clock again and again and reading without absorbing anything are signs of restless waiting — not boredom, sleepiness or anger, none of which the passage suggests. Inference means choosing the feeling the details point to, even when it isn't named.

That's it.

Close — use the clues around the word.

The clues — “not a single stall was open”, and the contrast with a “normally bustling” market — show deserted means empty here. Vocabulary-in-context questions are answered by the words around the target word, not a dictionary you can't see.

That's it.

Close — which idea covers the whole passage?

The passage opens with “far more than make honey” and spends the rest on how bees help plants and food — so the main idea is their importance to plants and food. The other options are small details or side points, not what the whole passage is about. The main idea is the umbrella that covers every sentence.

That's it.

Close — ask what the text is trying to do.

The text is a list of things to bring plus a reason to prepare — its purpose is to advise, not to entertain, argue against hiking, or describe scenery. Asking “what is this text trying to do to the reader?” points you to the author's purpose.

That's it.

Close — read the tone, not just the facts.

The details are chosen to needle: “just months after the last one”, only “one extra camera”, a “much bigger price tag”. The closing “No doubt it will sell in the millions” is dry rather than admiring — the writer is unimpressed. Tone questions turn on a writer's word choices, not the plain facts.

That's it.

Close — find the day it stays open late.

The passage says the library only stays open late — until 8 pm — on Thursdays; every other open day closes earlier, and it's shut on Sunday and Monday. So Thursday is the only day Maya can visit after 6 pm. These questions reward reading the details exactly, not from memory.
