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..."

Answer:
"I open the car door and call out to them 45 minutes before it's time to get on the road. I then sit back and watch the X Games/ WWE matches that are surely to unfold as my 7 children and the poor dog eventually make their way to the vehicle. "We'll look at this..." I point out to no one in particular. "They're only 30 seconds past the 45 minute headstart that I gave them." And we're off still later than was planned, of course."

This is just one of the many stories I've told my friends and family as it pertains to being a mother of 7. That's 6 boys and 1 girl. Time nor age make your children move on schedule. LoL
