RC HELP NEEDED

sometimes RC inference questions have 5 answers that depend on tiny details that are scattered ACROSS the entire passage. how do the pros remember all these details? do you scan and check for each answer choice?

the problem i have is this, especially inference questions:

1. 5 answer choices depend on minute tiny details
2. all 5 are scattered from each other in the passage.
3. i panic and i don't know where to start looking, and just go on my 'gut' and 80% of the time get it wrong.
4. i fail and cry in the bathroom.

help!?

Narrow it down to two then go with the opposite of what your gut tells you.

80% sure you're trolling?

hahaha I'm not the best at RC but I generally narrow it down to two and then look back at the passage to find out the exact conditional language the passage used. It usually relies on that. Don't choose the answer that is too broad or too strong. Choose the one that matches.
