In what year did tea bags originate according to the passage?

• A. 1918
• B. 1919
• C. 1920
• D. 1921

Answer: (B)

This kind of question tests your ability to pick out a precise date from the text. The passage states that tea bags originated in 1919, so the year that directly matches the author’s information is the best choice. This shows you’re accurately locating and using a concrete detail the passage provides about the origin. The other years don’t fit the stated timeline in the text, so they wouldn’t be supported by what the author says. When you answer, focus on the exact year the passage mentions and connect it to the event described.
