To understand how to determine the correct answer for a passage in an English test, I need more information. Please tell me:
* What specific test are you referring to? (e.g., SAT, ACT, GRE, etc.)
* What kind of question are you trying to answer? (e.g., identifying the main idea, analyzing the author's tone, finding supporting evidence, etc.)
Once I know this information, I can give you more specific advice on how to determine the correct answer.
