Listening 2-Multiple Choice Questions


2-Multiple Choice Questions


Multiple Choice questions test your ability to demonstrate a complete understanding of particular points or an overall understanding of the key points of the listening text. To accomplish this task, you will have to choose the best answer from three choices A, B or C and to write the letter of the correct answer on the Answer Sheet. There will be more options then questions, one option will be correct and others might look possible but will in fact be incorrect. 

In this type of questions sometimes you have to choose more than one answer to get one mark and sometimes you are required to choose more than one answer and each answer is worth one mark. So it is important to read the instructions carefully to avoid misunderstanding what is required. After you make sure how many letters you are required to circle, look through the questions quickly and underline the important words in questions. You should be able to predict the sort of information you are going to hear from the words of the questions and/or pictures.

Below are the examples provided for your better understanding of this type of questions.

Model 1 – with one answer required
