    Sentence-Completion Questions

    (Gap Filling)

    Sentence Completion:
    Sentence Completion is a common test item in most competitive exams. A
    sentence contains one or two blanks (usually), to be filled in using the
    choices. These questions test your vocabulary and knowledge of the finer
    distinctions among words. A good vocabulary can be a great help here. But
    you can use many strategies for these questions, even without knowing all
    the choices.

    Sentence-Completion Questions test your ability


    to find details to complete your sentences. You
    will be provided with a number of incomplete
    sentences which you need to complete, using the
    information from a reading passage. Generally,
    you must complete each statement in three words
    or fewer, but confirm this with the instructions.
    In doing this task, you need to skim for general
    information, scan for details, and understand
    paraphrases in incomplete sentences.

    Types of “gap-fill” questions:


    1.Fill the gaps with words from the passage.

    2.Fill the gaps to label a diagram.

    3.Fill the gaps with words from a list/box

    4.Fill the gaps in a table.


    Strategies for Sentence Completion:
    ☆. Read the Sentence

    Use the sentence clues by reading the sentence thoroughly. Two things make a
    question difficult: difficult words and sentence structure. If you cannot dissect a
    sentence to figure out what fits best, you CANNOT crack the question though
    you know the word meanings. We need to properly take apart the sentences and
    improve our vocabulary.

    This is my suggested strategy. There are many different strategies and you should use
    the one you feel comfortable with. You can also adapt this strategy to what suits you.

    1. Read the instructions carefully, noting how many words you can
    write and if they want you to include the exact words from the
    question or not.
    2. Read the incomplete sentences first. Think about what word form
    can be used and try to predict the answer. Also, think about
    keywords and how they could be represented by synonyms or
    paraphrasing.
    3. Locate where the information is located by scanning quickly. If you
    can’t locate the answer quickly, move on.

    4. Read the incomplete sentence again.
    5. Study the reading text more carefully to establish the answer.
    6. Check your spelling.
    7. Repeat with the other sentences.

    Sentence Completion Tips

    3
    1. Check how many words it asks you to write. If it says ‘no more than two’,
    you can write one or two words. If it says ‘no more than three’, you can
    write one, two or three words. Remember that numbers are written
    numerically, such as 72, count as one word and hyphenated words, such
    as state-of-the-art, count as one word.
    2. Sometimes the question will state ‘using words from the text’ or ‘from the
    text’. In this case, you should only use words from the text and not change
    them or use different forms of the words. If it does not say this, then you are
    allowed to change the words as long as the meaning is the same.
    3. The answers appear in the same order as the questions. The answer to
    number 1 will be above number 2, and the answer to number 3 will be
    below the answer to number 2.
    4. Remember that your answer should be grammatically correct. Check the
    type of word that fits in the space. Is it a verb, noun, adjective or adverb?
    This will help you answer the question correctly.
    5. When scanning for your answer, make sure you are thinking about
    paraphrasing and synonyms.
    6. Find where the answer is located in the text before you try to answer the
    question. Remember where before what.
    7. Read the questions before reading the text.

    Examples:

    1.1

    Read the question first not the text which is given to you.

    4
    Underline synonyms and paraphrased word from the text
