Objective: To practice aligning paragraph headings with the corresponding paragraphs.
In the IELTS Reading section, a common question type involves selecting headings and matching them to specific paragraphs in a text.
This page provides a full reading text along with practice questions.
At the bottom of the page, there’s a discussion of the answers and guidance on identifying the correct matches.
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.

WhatsApp, a rival messaging platform, introduced some measures to counter disinformation when Covid-19 was first sweeping the world. The War on Fakes channel has repeatedly attempted to push conspiracies that footage from Ukraine is somehow being falsified. One post on the channel from February 24 claimed without evidence that a widely viewed photo of a Ukrainian woman injured in an airstrike in the city of Chuhuiv was doctored and that the woman was seen in a different photo days later without injuries. The post, which has over 600,000 views, also baselessly claimed that the woman's blood was actually makeup or grape juice. The company maintains that it cannot act against individual or group chats, which are “private amongst their participants,” but it will respond to requests in relation to sticker sets, channels and bots which are publicly available. During the invasion of Ukraine, Pavel Durov has wrestled with this issue a lot more prominently than he has before. Channels like Donbass Insider and Bellum Acta, as reported by Foreign Policy, started pumping out pro-Russian propaganda as the invasion began. So much so that the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council issued a statement labeling which accounts are Russian-backed. Ukrainian officials, in potential violation of the Geneva Convention, have shared imagery of dead and captured Russian soldiers on the platform. But because group chats and the channel features are not end-to-end encrypted, Galperin said user privacy is potentially under threat. The regulator said it has been undertaking several campaigns to educate the investors to be vigilant while taking investment decisions based on stock tips.
