bilities, vocabulary and legical reasoning.Such questions consists of one .two or more blanks to be filled in by
words or phrases which are the best cholc= among thase glven.Sentence completion questions should be
approached in a systematic manner to get the right answer.
Test of reading skills : First read the question from beginign to the end. Try to understan the tone of the sentence
;whether positive or negative, descriptive ,active or passive. Test of comprehension abilities : Once yau have read
the sentence you can comprehend the meaning and thus guess at the missing word's. Here again special effort
has to taken to ensure that the tense is taken into account. The Degree (positive,comparativessuperlative) has to
be correct .THe gender has to right tool! Test of vocabulary : ence you get the hint of the word's which could fit
in, you can begin to read the choices. Here the mast important thing is the tone of the sentence .
ex:
jeticatley
loudly tn amusement.
He.
laughed /Guftamed
Here the abviously the word laughed will fit in the frst sentence while guffamed Is the better cholce for the second
sentence.
Let us look at another example,
‘mr.john,a biolonist,spen three seasons in the antartc and returned with clear perceptions of that .......... and
uninhabitable place.
Ujarld 2)deserted 3)rere nomadic
you are locking at a word which goes well with uninhabitable thaugh deserted fits, but it means left alone.Aand
means dry,nomadic cannot fit.Thus the best choice would be rere, even if you da hat know the meaning of the
word.
Test of Logical reasoning- 2s you go through the cholees you can guess In on word which fits best logically. Here,
all the above skills are tested and only one word will fit all paramaters.
Ex:
The eee seseeeitsssusssen atmospere was shatbered when news of the grandparents illness reached them,
U)desperate 2)innocent 3)convival 4)adilligent
you can see here that the atmasphere has to be happy ,full of catebration , the convival fits best here
