Elimination and Logical Thinking

Sharpening Elimination and Logical Thinking

Sometimes, you might not know the answer right away. That’s okay! You can use elimination and logic to narrow down your choices and pick the best answer.

How to Use Elimination

  • Cross out answers that are definitely wrong.
  • Compare the remaining choices.
  • Think logically—what makes the most sense in the sentence or question?

Why Logic Helps

Being logical means thinking clearly and making smart choices. It helps you solve puzzles, answer tricky questions, and even make decisions in everyday life.

Practice Makes Perfect

Try using elimination and logic on practice questions, and watch your confidence grow!

Examples

  • If two answer choices mean the same thing, and only one can be correct, eliminate both.

  • If a word doesn't fit the sentence at all, cross it off your list.

In a Nutshell

Use elimination and logic to choose the best answer, even when you're unsure.
