Once you have located where the features are mentioned, read those sections of the passage carefully to understand the context in which they appear. This is important because multiple features may be mentioned, but the context will help you determine which information belongs to which feature.
- Why This Is Important: Understanding the context ensures that you are matching the correct information to the correct feature. Some features (like names or dates) may appear multiple times in the passage, but in different contexts.
- How to Apply It:
- Read the paragraph or sentence where the feature appears to understand what is being said about it.
- Ask yourself: What is this feature being associated with? Is it linked to a specific event, discovery, or idea?
- Example: If the passage mentions “Newton’s laws of motion” and later mentions “Newton’s work on optics,” understanding the context will help you match Newton to the correct scientific achievement.
