A direct-information answer is printed in the passage. If you are reasoning, you are answering a different question.

These questions test locating, not thinking. Every wrong option is a number or a phrase that is also in the passage, placed there so that a candidate skimming for any figure finds the wrong one.

The passage says 209 households reported remittances; the answer is 209.

the figure is read, not derived

The passage gives a total and one subgroup, so the answer is the difference.

arithmetic the question did not ask for

Where it bites

Where the passage gives three figures and the question names one. Match the label in the question to the label in the passage, not to the nearest number.
