It left me with an impression that by and large we can always find each IELTS reading answer from ONE sentence in the original context, rather than a "vague feeling" of one paragraph or even the whole passage.
And then Paraphrasing is the key, which means the answer is usually a paraphrase of some words in that sentence.
These are 2 basic notion that guide me in every IELTS reading exam. And I got no less than 7 in all of them.
Then, how to find the exact sentence that answer comes from?
I'm afraid this is also paraphrasing, because there are many elements in one sentence, such as subject, verb, object, adjective and adverb etc.
Usually the question will cover some of these elements, which we can use these similar elements to locate that sentence, and only one of the elements is missing, which is the answer that we are supposed to find.
A simple example:
Original context: Gundam is a cartoon first made by Japanese
Question: Gundam originated from _____
Answer: Japanese
In the above example, we can use "Gundam" and "first made by" (which is paraphrased into "originated") to locate the sentence, and find the missing word, Japanese.
