• Just reading a passage in the flash of a second will not do justice to your preparation , rather understand the important ones in the passages.
• On the contrary if you are not sure of any answers and if it becomes time consuming , leave that question at that point , you can come back at a later time always (Preliminary examination allows you to switch between the Sections whereas in Mains examination , it is not possible).
• The Reading Comprehension is asked to evaluate the candidates for their understanding of the topics and their vocabulary. So your vocabulary matters more. As said one cannot expect a 100% direct question , and the chances of getting direct ones are rare.
• Read the entire passage at least once and then answer the questions which are easy and then try your hands on more complex ones. The level of complexity varies , but even then you can have at least some questions in the easier ones.
