RC is the single largest chunk of the CUET English section — factual, literary and narrative passages each carry 5–6 questions. Speed-reading plus inference accuracy decides your English percentile.
Answer lies in the text — locate the line, don't reason from outside knowledge
Track tone, character and the author's attitude — mark emotive words
Pick the option the passage *implies*, not the most dramatic one
The central theme runs through every paragraph; reject options that fit only one line
Replace the word with each option and re-read the sentence
