How Dialogue Questions Work
Each question is a short conversation with one missing line. The missing line must fit both what comes before it and what comes after it. Very often, the line after the blank is a reply to the missing line — so it tells you what kind of question or statement is needed.
Tactics
- Read the whole dialogue before looking at the options.
- Focus on the line after the blank. If it gives a reason, the missing line probably asks "why"; if it gives a place or time, it probably asks "where" or "when".
- Check references: words like that, it, then, so in the next line must point to something in the missing line.
- Eliminate options that are reasonable but answer a different question or change the topic.
