How many times a day does the speaker pinch themselves?

• A. 10
• B. 25
• C. 15
• D. 5

Answer: (B)

This question tests your ability to pull an exact detail from a reading passage. To get it right, you need to find the sentence where the speaker states how often they pinch themselves each day and use that exact figure. The correct answer is the number the author explicitly provides for daily pinching. If the text says the speaker pinches themselves twenty-five times a day, that exact line or wording is what you should rely on. That precise statement is what distinguishes the correct choice from the others—these other numbers would only be correct if the text explicitly stated them as the daily frequency. In practice, look for phrases like “times a day” or “per day” paired with a specific number. If the passage writes “twenty-five times a day,” that is the supported answer. If the text doesn’t give a concrete number, you wouldn’t select a numeric option; you’d need the explicit count to choose.
