    paragraph 2 question 2: b) isn't correct either because biofuel is made out of crop, it is nothing that grows. b) is actually never mentioned in the passage. for me d) is the best answer so not 100% if you are pedantic because it mentions "potentially".
    also, it was a mess finding the free pdf, after like ten logins and signups and emails

    • @TSTPrep
      @TSTPrep  17 днів тому

    • @TSTPrep
      @TSTPrep  4 місяці тому

      This is a very good point. The connection here is not very strong. I guess the argument is because of all the other things she did that women could not do, like have access to library, it is unlikely other woman could have held jobs that required being well read, or jobs that required a high level education which most women could not get.

    For the first paragraph question num 6, the passage says it was an all-male school until 1973, which means after that it was not. So, isn't option B incorrect since in the 20th century, it obviously wasn't an all-male school?

    • @TSTPrep
      @TSTPrep  5 місяців тому +1

      B would be true because in the 20th century (1973), Harvard stopped being an all male school. Since we are looking for the false answer, we cross it off.

      Hi there and thank you for commenting. If you struggle a lot with the TOEFL Reading, I would suggest investing time in a site like LingQ where you can do some extensive reading that is not connected to the TOEFL, that way you can build your skills and vocabulary with text that is a little bit easier before moving ahead with the TOEFL. If you need to talk to a teacher, you could also try a trial lesson and they can give you some pointers - tstprep.com/store/toefl/trial-lesson-for-the-toefl-ibt/

      Hi there and thank you for commenting. In general, when students are at a lower level of proficiency, I find that TOEFL practice is not the best. Students at lower levels of proficiency should work on the basics of English first. I would suggest investing time in a site like LingQ where you can do some extensive reading that is not connected to the TOEFL, that way you can build your skills and vocabulary with text that is a little bit easier before moving ahead with the TOEFL. www.lingq.com/

      If they granted her access to the library, it is safe to assume she used it to read and do research. Yes, these questions can be tough :)
