True / False / Not Given Tips
True / False / Not Given (TFNG) IELTS Reading को सबैभन्दा confusing question type मध्ये एक हो।
यसमा statement दिइन्छ र तपाईंले passage अनुसार decide गर्नुपर्छ:

Important Tips

Statement मा important keywords खोज्नुहोस् र passage मा same idea locate गर्नुहोस्।
2️⃣ Synonyms ध्यान दिनुहोस्
IELTS मा exact words rarely repeat हुन्छन्।
Example:
Statement:
The number of students increased.
Passage:
There was a rise in student enrolment.
👉 “increase” र “rise” synonym हो।
3️⃣ Assumption नगर्नुहोस्
यदि information passage मा छैन भने answer Not Given हुन्छ।
4️⃣ Opposite meaning ध्यान दिनुहोस्
यदि statement passage को opposite छ भने False हुन्छ।
