Passage-only Evidence
Treat the supplied passage as the complete evidence base for each decision.

closed evidence set
Exam cue: Ask what exact sentence or necessary link supports or contradicts the statement.
Concept 2

relevance

Memory anchors
Passage is the record
Use only the information supplied for the decision.
Evidence before label
Find support or conflict before choosing an answer.
Plausible is not proven
A believable statement may still be Cannot say.
Outside facts stay outside
General knowledge cannot fill a passage gap.
Exact statement, exact test
Assess every part of the wording presented.
