Strategies for Answering First, skim through the paragraph headings to understand them. Next, start with the first paragraph. Often, the topic sentence reveals the main idea and answer, so a quick scan of the rest may be sufficient. Sometimes, though, the answer isn’t in the topic sentence, and reading the whole paragraph carefully is necessary. If a match isn’t immediately clear, move to the next one. If you’re uncertain between two options initially, list them both. You may later eliminate one if it better fits another paragraph. If you’re still undecided between two options by the end, select the one that seems to fit best.

Higher long-dated bond yields make future profits less valuable—and many tech companies are valued on the basis of profits forecast for many years in the future. Oh no. There’s a certain degree of myth-making around what exactly went on, so take everything that follows lightly. Telegram was originally launched as a side project by the Durov brothers, with Nikolai handling the coding and Pavel as CEO, while both were at VK. Channels are not fully encrypted, end-to-end. All communications on a Telegram channel can be seen by anyone on the channel and are also visible to Telegram. Telegram may be asked by a government to hand over the communications from a channel.
