I always get "The Primary Purpose of this passage is to?" wrong on Reading Comp. I'm guessing this is hurting my score as it seems like a simple questions and I always get it wrong.
Any idea on how to nail this??? I started taking notes during the section and it helps. I know what the passage is about, but trying to stick it into one of those GMAT choices is difficult. Suggestions?

Main Idea/Primary Purpose Questions:
Many people believe there is no difference between the main or central idea of the passage and the primary purpose of the author of the passage. This is simply not true. Let's take a look at the subtle but important difference between them:
Main Idea
The question might look something like this:
"Which of the following best states the central idea of the passage?"
"Which of the following most accurately states the main idea of the passage?"
"Which of the following is the principal topic of the passage?"
"The main topic of the passage is...."
Primary Purpose
The question might look like this:
"The primary purpose of this passage is to..."
"The primary purpose of the passage as a whole is to..."
"The primary focus of this passage is on which of the following?"
"The main concern of the passage is to..."
"In the passage, the author is primarily interested in...."
"The passage is chiefly concerned with..."

Brutus is a tragic hero as his judgement of error in killing Caesar leads to his downfall but he is an inherently good man.
Explanation:
Brutus is an enigmatic character in the play as he joins the conspiracy and drags the dagger into the heart of Caesar yet he has love for him and torments himself for doing it.
He does not kill Caesar eventually because he hates him, he mentions repeatedly that he likes him and thinks of him as a great man and as a friend .
He does so because he thinks this is what will be good for Rome and as a patriot it is his responsibility to do this for the nation.
He torments himself for the act and realizes eventually that it has done more harm than good, making him die in the end as his fall is tragic and follows the classical principles.
