18 out of 67 questions on the "critical reading" section ask students to "complete the sentence." Thus over a quarter of your score on this exam depends on how well you can figure out these "fill-in-the-blank" types of questions Let's look at some examples and improve our ability to answer this type of question.
18 out of 67 questions on the "critical reading" section ask students to "complete the sentence." Thus over a quarter of your score (more than 35%) on this exam depends on how well you can figure out these "fill-in-the-blank" types of questions Let's look at some examples and improve our ability to answer this type of question.
Example:
Example:
:(D) cooperation ... prevail
:(D) cooperation ... prevail
:(E) negotiations ... be unthinkable
:(E) negotiations ... be unthinkable
The key to success on these sentence completion questions are the following:
*the correct pair typically has some natural relation to each other, either as opposites or as a common matter of speech.
*awkward pairs can typically be eliminated
*the context should guide you to the first word, and the context should give you clues as to what the second word should be in relation to the first
