How is B2 reading practice different from B1?
B2 practice here asks you to follow arguments, recognise concessions and distinguish a writer’s overall position from a detail. B1 practice uses more straightforward familiar situations. Choose a text where the main idea is accessible but some reasoning still takes effort.
How do I answer an inference question?
Connect clues in the passage without adding an unsupported story. In the library text, recording use as well as comments suggests collecting different kinds of evidence. It does not prove that staff wanted to silence complaints.
