Typical Questions

  • ""Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?"

How to Approach

  • Choose a word that fits the tone, grammar, and logic of the sentence—but not through exact match
  • Try highlighting two clues in the sentence: one structural (punctuation/grammar) and one tonal/logical
  • Highlight tone words; ask if this word feels too strong or soft

Typical Trap and Quick Fix

  • Focusing too narrowly on one clue and missing others (tone, punctuation, contrast)
  • Train by underlining at least two clues in each sentence—word meaning often relies on combinations

Frequent Words

  • dismiss, recognizable, inevitable, homogeneous, intriguing, acknowledged, evaluate, impractical, dispute, adjusted, variable, acquired, criticize, contingent, indecipherable, innocuous, proficient, obscure
