Skill 3: FIND "UNSTATED" DETAILS





Example 
The passage: 
The Florida Keys are a beautiful chain of almost 1,000 coral and limestone islands. These islands form an arc that heads first southwest and then west from the mainland. U.S. Highway 1, called the Overseas Highway, connects the main islands in the chain. On this highway, it is necessary to cross forty-two bridges over the ocean to cover the 159 miles from Miami, on the mainland, to Key West, the farthest island on the highway and the southernmost city in the United States.
The question:
Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the Florida Keys?
A. The Florida Keys are a chain of islands. B. The Florida Keys contain coral and limestone.
C. The Florida Keys are in the shape of an arc. D. The Florida Keys are not all inhabited.
This question asks for the one answer that is not mentioned about the Florida Keys. The passage states that the Florida Keys are a chain (answer A) with coral and limestone (answer B) in the shape of an arc (answer C), so these answers are not correct. The best answer is there­fore answer D.. The passage does not mention whether or not the keys are all inhabited.
