PTE multiple choice multiple answer question type comes second in the exam for the reading section. In multiple choice multiple answer (reading section) You will see a text on the screen and have to answer a question based on the text and you will find a number of options and you have to select all the correct options and in this question type, more than option is correct.
There is negative marking! You will lose marks if you pick a wrong option. So, be careful and don’t make random guesses.

Example 1
What you eat influences your taste for what you might want to eat next. So claims a University of California, Riverside, study performed on fruit flies.
The study offers a better understanding of neurophysiological plasticity of the taste system in flies.
To maintain ideal health, animals require a balanced diet with optimum amounts of different nutrients. Macronutrients like carbohydrates and proteins are essential; indeed, an unbalanced intake of these nutrients can be detrimental to health. Flies require macronutrients such as sugars and amino acids for survival. They use the gustatory system, the sensory system responsible for the perception of taste, to sense these nutrients and begin feeding.
In their experiments in the lab, the researchers Anindya Ganguly and Manali Dey, led by Anupama Dahanukar, fed adult flies different diets: a balanced diet, a sugar-reduced and protein-enriched diet, and a sugar-enriched and protein-depleted diet. They ensured that all three diets were similar in total calorie content and tested the flies daily for a week to examine modifications in their food choice and taste sensitivity.
The researchers report that diet affects dopamine and insulin signaling in the brain, which, in turn, affects the flies' peripheral sensory response, which is comprised of neurons directly involved in detecting external stimuli. This response then influences what the flies eat next.
Which of the following statements about the study is true?
A) What you eat has little
to do with what you want to eat next.
B) An unbalanced intake of
macronutrients such as carbohydrates and protein is essential.
C) The fly senses
macronutrients through its taste system.
D) In the experiment, the researchers made sure the total calories in all three diets were the same.
E)
The researchers tested the flies every two days for a week.
F) Dopamine in the brain is
closely related to diet.
Answer
C) The fly senses macronutrients through its taste system.
F) Dopamine in the brain is closely related to diet.
Example 2
There's bad news for parents who frequently plop their kids in front of the TV to give themselves a break: It might actually end up leaving moms and dads more stressed.
Why? Because the more television that kids watch, the more they're exposed to advertising messages. The more advertising they see, the more likely they are to insist on purchasing items when they go with their parents to the store -- and perhaps make a fuss if told "no." All that, researchers say, may contribute to parents' overall stress levels, well beyond a single shopping trip.
The findings come from a University of Arizona-led study, published in the International Journal of Advertising, that explores the potential effects of children's television watching habits on their parents' stress levels.
"The more advertising children see, the more they ask for things and the more conflict is generated," said lead study author Matthew Lapierre, an assistant professor in the Arizona Department of Communication in the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
"What we haven't looked at before is what the potential effect is on parents. We know kids ask for things, we know it leads to conflict, but we wanted to ask the next question: Could this be contributing to parents' overall stress?" The study suggests that it could. There are a few things parents can do, perhaps the most obvious of which is limiting screen time.
What can we infer from the passage?
A) When watching one
television ad, children purchase one thing from it.
B) Children will ask for more things when they watch more ads, which can lead to more conflict.
C)
Children's habit of watching TV has a potential impact on parents' stress
level.
D) For parents, putting their
children in front of the TV tends to make themselves happy.
E) Parents can reduce their
stress by limiting their children to watch TV.
Answer
B) Children will ask for more things when they watch more ads, which can lead to more conflict.
C) Children's habit of watching TV has a potential impact on parents' stress level.
E) Parents can reduce their stress by limiting their children to watch TV.
