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..."

Subordinating conjunction is “before”
Explanation:
The electoral college can be understood as a group of people chosen to represent voters and appoint the president and vice president every four years.
Therefore, each State has a number of delegates corresponding to and proportionate to its population and to the deputies and senators of that State, and so each delegate is represented by one vote and each candidate needs to obtain a number corresponding to 270 or more to be elected.
This system was created in conjunction with the American constitution and had the central objective of allowing greater control over voting due to the precarious communication at the time, and there is also a predilection for the electoral college by smaller states, which feel more represented in the use of this system.
However, there is still a very long delay in the counting of votes and perhaps this system may not reflect the will of the majority of the population, since even if a candidate has a greater number of total votes, he cannot win the contest if he does not win in the delegates.
It is interesting that there is a restructuring of this American electoral system, duly voted by the population to choose whether direct voting would be a faster and more democratic option.
An idea of modernization would be the adoption of a voting system by electronic ballot boxes, with high anti-fraud protection and greater speed and security in the counting of votes and results.
The International Ski Federation and International Olympic Committee both recognize a wide variety of competitive skiing competitions.
<h3>Why is it called skiing?</h3>
The Old Norse word "sk," which meant to "split a piece of wood or firewood," is where the term "ski" originates. Up until at least the late 19th century, northern Finland and Sweden both used asymmetrical skis. Using skis to move across snow is called skiing.
Basic transportation, a leisure pastime, or a competitive winter sport are examples of purpose variations. The International Ski Federation and International Olympic Committee both recognize a wide variety of competitive skiing competitions. There is nothing better than exploring the area with some close family or friends. You can enjoy the scenery together, make each other laugh when you fall (because you will!) and assist each other in standing back up on your skis. Having someone to eat lunch with is also great.
