  • Why This Is Important: Understanding the instructions ensures you don’t make mistakes, such as using too many words or pulling words from the wrong source.
  • How to Apply It:
    1. Pay attention to word limits (e.g., use ONE WORD ONLY, TWO WORDS).
    1. Check whether you should use your own words or words from the passage.
  • Example: If the instructions say “NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS,” you know that you can only use a maximum of two words from the passage.
