Quick-Reference Strategy

1. Read the statement first. Identify whose view is being described (the author's, a philosopher's, a critic's).
2. Scan for the relevant argument. Philosophical passages often present multiple positions — find the right one.
3. Compare carefully. Does the passage attribute this view to the right person? Does it support the claim or merely mention it?
4. Do not evaluate the argument. You are not asked whether the philosophical position is correct — only whether the passage supports the statement.
