for each para try understanding the gist it's fine if you don't understand every word or sentence, after every para you should be able to understand the main argument, direction (in which the passage is moving), author's stance. practice writing just 1 key word from each para, helps with active reading and might help with understanding if you try to summarize whole para in a word

I was also bad at rc topic like history, art , AI but what worked for me was that i try to translate the paragraph as i read every line in my mind, once you have gotten a bit better you can easily translate any paragraph within minutes but if there are some words that you don't understand that there is no need to get any meaning out of that word just go on with the task of translating and see if you able to understand what the passage is trying to say, if you can understand the passage than the questions are 50 % done than what you need to focus on is only option elimination and you are good to go
