Typical Questions
- "Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?"
How to Approach
- Choose the word that helps the argument progress
- Choose the word that advances the paragraph's structural or rhetorical move
- Requires understanding of function, not just relation (e.g., "hence" vs. "therefore")
Typical Trap and Quick Fix
- Choosing by grammar instead of structure
- Ask: "What is this sentence doing for the argument?"
