verbal passages & question types

Would you post the definition for three types of verbal passages (e.g. structure, content, etc.), the things to notice (either for our maps or in general), and the common types of MCAT questions which follow? (Similar in fashion to your response to the science passage types).
-----------------
The three types of verbal passages are:
-Humanities.  Tends to focus on art, literature, or music history, and opinions are key here!  Questions tend to be weighted more towards Deduction, Incoporation.
-Social Sciences.  Tends to focus on philosophy, history, economics, politics.  Advantages/disadvantages/problems and solutions are common passage setups.  Questions tend to be weighted more towards Evaluation, Application.
-Natural Sciences.  Tends to focus on paleontology, archaeology, astronomy.  Questions tends to be weighted towards Detail.
