True / False / Not Given - In this question type, you need to decide whether a statement is true, false or not given in the text.
TIPS:
👉🏻Scan the text to find the relevant paragraph.
👉🏻Do not expect to see exactly the same words.
👉🏻Look out for anything to show that the statement is not true, and pay particular attention to verbs that contradict a sentence (e.g. deny, refuse, criticize)
👉🏻When you have scanned the text and located the relevant place in the text, if there is no information, then answer is Not Given
👉🏻The questions follow the order in the text.
👉🏻You must only base your answer on the information in the text, not on what you may know.
👉🏻There will be at least one of each type of answer. The first one is almost always True or False to make it easier to find the beginning in the text.

People need to slow down and take stock of the surroundings, even if they are regulars.Supermarkets do not expect to sell much here, so it tends to be used more for promotion. So the large items piled up here are designed to suggest that there are bargains further inside the store, and shoppers are not necessarily expected to buy them. Walmart, the world’s biggest retailer, famously employes “greeters” at the entrance to its stores. A friendly welcome is said to cut shoplifting. It harder to steal from nice people
