Unseen Prose Passage — Comprehension and Inference (English) for REET Level 1
In REET Level 1 Language-I English, an unseen prose passage is a short, age-appropriate passage based on the Classes I to V State Government syllabus, though candidate-level MCQ difficulty may go up to Class X. The four key sub-skills are main idea, directly stated detail, vocabulary in context and simple passage-supported inference. Read the whole passage once for gist, then return with the question to locate evidence instead of guessing from memory. Reject distractors that are partially true, swap the actor, stretch the inference, use the wrong dictionary meaning or bring in knowledge from outside the passage.
