Choose the method before you choose the answer.
These guided sets mix several Reading formats inside short passages. Your job is to identify the task, select the right reading method and support the final decision with exact evidence.
Before you answer
Use the 3-part transfer check
Do not treat the options as a guessing game. Name the task, locate the evidence and explain why the best option fits more precisely than its closest competitor.
Where is the complete evidence window?
Use an anchor to stop scanning, then read enough context to capture the whole claim.
Example: a number helps you arrive; the surrounding sentence tells you what it measures.Why does this answer fit best?
State the evidence, the paraphrase and the exact problem with the strongest distractor.
Example: “smaller effect” contradicts “fell equally”; shared vocabulary does not rescue the distractor.Guided decision lab

Reading passage
Campus water stations
A university in southern England installed refillable water stations after a waste audit showed that students bought more than 18,000 single-use bottles in one month. The first stations were placed near the library and sports centre because those buildings had the highest foot traffic.
The project reduced bottle sales in the sports centre cafe, but the effect in the library was smaller than expected. Interviews suggested that students often arrived at the library with drinks already purchased from shops outside the campus.
In the second term, the sustainability team added signs showing the nearest refill point and asked lecturers to mention the scheme during orientation. They also delayed plans for new stations in lecture halls until usage data from the first two sites could be reviewed.

Audio guides in small museums
Small museums often struggle to provide guided tours throughout the day. To solve this problem, the Harford Museum tested audio guides that visitors could borrow at the entrance. The devices included short recordings by curators, local historians and volunteers.
Some staff feared that audio guides would make the museum feel less personal. The director disagreed. She argued that recorded voices could make the visit more personal if they included stories from people connected to the exhibits rather than a single formal narration.
Visitor surveys were encouraging: families spent longer in the textile room and international visitors said the slower recordings helped them understand technical vocabulary. However, the devices were less useful in crowded rooms because background noise made the instructions difficult to hear.
