Listening Question Types:
- attitude
- purpose
- inference
- main idea
- detail
- complete a table or chart (detail question with multiple parts)
- function/replay
- prediction
(Different books often categorize listening questions in different ways. Reading question types are more consistent.)
---
Detail and fact questions (in listening and reading) often state the correct answer differently than it is in the passage, so you still need to recognize parphrased or restated sentences.

Replay and Attitude questions - Usually questions that ask directly about attitudes or feelings don’t involve listening again to part of the conversation or lecture, but like other replay questions they usually require you to notice things like tone of voice and sarcasm.
- “Attitude” questions for lectures and discussions can ask about how certain someone is of the information they give.
