SENTENCE COMPLETION
(PROACTIVE THINKING)
Concept

REACTIVE SOLVING VERSUS PROACTIVE SOLVING

In our observation, a critical mistake that students end up committing while solving questions of sentence
completion is trying to solve these questions by going through the options and trying to fit the options in the
sentence.

We call this reactive solving and this process leads to students committing avoidable errors. Instead, the
student should consciously follow proactive solving, which is explained below.
Concept

TYPES OF SENTENCE STRUCTURES AND KEY WORDS

Having seen the process applied to one particular problem, let us now look at the four common types of
sentence structures and some key words, which are the basis of the basic problem types, viz: Cause &
Effect, Reiteration, Similarities/Parallelisms & Contrast.

Type I. Cause and Effect

one is the cause of the other (which then becomes the effect). Needless to say, the two ideas have to be
related to the same principal topic.

Keywords that may indicate cause and effect include: because, as a result, thus, resulting from, hence,
therefore, consequently, causes, leading to, due to.
Concept

Type II. Reiteration or Restatement/Parallelisms

Sentences of this type again, will usually have two ideas, one of which clarifies or further supports the
other. The ideas will have the same general meaning, but will be restated in a slightly more explanatory
way. Sometimes, such sentences will also have the reiteration in the form of an explanatory example.

Keywords to identify reiteration type sentences are: in fact, in other words, surely, to be sure, and, namely,
that is, furthermore and likewise.
Concepts

Type III. Similarity or Support

Sentences of this type compare distinct but similar ideas. When choosing a word to fill the blank, you must
look for a word that allows the two ideas of the sentence to be similar in meaning.

Keywords for similarity sentence completions are: likewise, in the same way, for instance, similarly,
furthermore, as, same, just as, specifically, such as, as an example, resembles, like and also.
Concepts

Type IV. Contrast

Contrast sentences contain ideas that are opposite to one another or are dissimilar to each other.

Keywords indicating a contrast in the ideas of the sentence include:

Although, but, despite, in spite of, however, as against, as opposed to, whereas, on the contrary, yet, on
the other hand, On the one hand…. On the other, surprisingly, unlike, in contrast, rather, and Even though.
Question: 01

Tharani always wins the debate competition because she works _______ to prepare the topic.

A. lazily
B. hard
C. continually
D. spontaneously

Answer: B
Explanation:

The first part of this sentence describes something - always win the debate competition - that
is caused or influenced by what's described in the second part. Think over it, "What causes to
win the competition?" Only the word "hard" is the correct choice.

The two parts of the sentence are connected by the word "because" that indicates the cause
and effect composition of the sentence.
Question: 02

Sree looks a noble person but he always becomes __________ any good deed.

A. supporter of
B. obstacle for
C. swift to do
D. promoter for

Answer: B
Explanation:

Here in this example the signal word "but" indicates a contrast in the 2nd part of the sentence.
Apparently, noble looking person should do wrong in the 2nd part of the sentence. Hence, the
right choice is "obstacle for".
Question: 03

marriages, so as the people of Bahawalpur are making efforts ___________ the penetration
of foreign culture in their social norms.

A. to absorb
B. to accept
C. to normalize
D. to stop

Answer: D
Explanation:

The composition of "just as ... as" leads towards restatement of the idea. What the people of
Multan are doing the people of Bahawalpur are doing the same thing.
Question: 04

Money _________ to a political campaign should be used for political purposes and nothing
else.
A. used

good sense in the sentence.
Question: 05

Can public opinion be influenced so that it _________ rather than encourages the proliferation
of the sale of firearms?

A. redoubles
B. advances
C. inverts
D. impedes

Answer: D
Explanation:

The best choice is D impedes. The clue here is rather than encourages. You need a verb
whose object is proliferation and that means the opposite of encourages. The best choice is
impedes, which means obstructs or retards. To invert is to turn upside down.
Question: 06

have several edges, each with a different use.

A. ancient
B. primitive
C. ferrous
D. versatile

theory also work in _________, in other words, in the real world.

A. hypotheses
B. fact

D. part

The best choice is B fact. The key words here are in other words, which tell you that your
choice must be similar to the real world. The terms in fact and in the real world both refer to
similar ideas in this sentence.
Question: 08

Although it was not apparent at the time, in _________ we can see how Miles Davis’
performances in the 1970s were _________ by what was happening then in popular music.

A. retrospect, influenced
B. effect, modified
C. fact, unchanged
D. foresight, endangered

Answer: A
Explanation:

The best choice is A retrospect . . . influenced. After reading the sentence, you may decide
that the phrase not apparent at the time would suggest looking back for the first blank and that
the second word needs to be affected. You could read the sentence “Although it was not
apparent at the time, in looking back we can see how Miles Davis’ performances in the 1970s
were affected by what was happening then in popular music.” Now, looking for synonyms for
looking back and affected gives you choice A retrospect . . . influenced.
Question: 08

Most candidates spend _________ they can raise on their campaigns, but others wind up on
election day with a _________.

A. so, bankroll
B. time, vacation
C. everything, surplus
D. every cent, deficit

Answer: C
Explanation: 08

The best choice is C everything . . . surplus. But signals that the first half of the sentence
contrasts with the second half. The fact that most candidates spend everything (and end up
with nothing) contrasts with those who end up with a surplus.
Question: 09

Surfing was once a sociable pastime, but now joining another surfer on a wave is _________
as heinous as cutting off another driver on the highway.

A. an occasion
B. an offense
C. an adage
D. a discourtesy

Answer: B
Explanation:

The best choice is B an offense. The first clause of the sentence contrasts a time when
surfing was sociable with the present, so the last half of the sentence must describe an
antisocial action. The word but tips off the contrast. Choices B an offense and D a discourtesy
are the only two that contrast with sociable. An offense is the better choice, because a
discourtesy is not strong enough to fit well with heinous (shockingly evil).
Question: 11

This treatise is concerned only with the process unique to the period in question; therefore, no
attempt has been made to _________ phenomena _________ to that era.

A. include, unrelated
B. omit, irrelevant
C. re-create, germane
D. discuss, essential

Answer: A
Explanation: 11

The best choice is A include . . . unrelated. The words in the first half of the sentence that are
especially related to those to be filled in in the second half are is concerned only and unique
to the period. The verb in the first blank is parallel to is concerned and describes the contents.
Choices A include, D discuss, or possibly E evaluate are possible. The second blank needs
an adjective that will make the phrase _________ to that era parallel to unique to the period.
Choice B irrelevant would work, but only A has the correct first word.
Question: 13

A. contradictory
B. realistic
C. simplistic

number of rats. Each cat killed more rats than there were cats. How many rats do you think that each cat
killed ?
A. 1009

999919 = 1000000 - 81 =
(1000^2− 9^2) = (1000+9)(1000-9) = 1009 x 991.
Since there were more rats than there were cats, 991 cats killed 1009 rats each.
Question: 15

Row 3 - 3 x 7 = 21 , 21 x 7 = 147

Hence, the missing number could be 3.

Logic 2 ::
Row 1 - 6 x (2+1) = 18
Row 2 - 20 x (4+1) = 100
Row 3 - 21 x (6+1) = 147

Hence, the missing number could be 6.

Therefore, 3 or 6 is the right answer.

One-word substitutes
Introduction:

● One word Substitution is one of the integral parts of vocabulary.

● It simply means that a sentence has to be replaced with a single word. This area
requires a good vocabulary to solve the questions well.
One easy method of doing one word substitution is by using the root method. Roots are
nothing but the words from which the main word has been derived. In our other series of
vocabulary, we have consolidated the lists of root words that will ease your preparation.
For example:
Look at the root word - CRACY.
CRACY = RULE / GOVERNMENT
A government by the people - Democracy
A government by a king or queen - Monarchy
A government by the officials - Bureaucracy
A government by the rich - Plutocracy
A government by few - Oligarchy
A government by the nobles - Aristocracy
