English Cloze Passages

• In the cloze passages, you need to fill each blank which was numbered with
one word. This will test your ability to understand what you read and
complete passages with suitable words.
Guidelines
• 1) Read through the whole passage to have an overall understanding.
Check the type of tense used in the passage.
• 2) Re-read again and fill each blank with one word. Move to the nest
blank if you’re unsure of your answer. You may return to it later.

• 3) Some blanks might have more than one answer. In this kind of situation,
choose the best and suitable answer to fill the blank.
• 4) To help you guess the answer to fill in the blank, check the words
before and answer each blank.

Re-read again and fill each blank with one word. Move to
the nest blank if you’re unsure of your answer. You may
return to it later.

• The answer option available is:

Re-read again and fill each blank with one word.
• The underlined tips above stated that we can try to put each answer option to the
blank space of the question.

• Thus, we should try to put every option and reread the sentence again.
• We should start rereading by rereading the sentence before the blank space, the
option that we put in the blank space and the sentence after the blank space. This is
to ensure the meaning and context of the sentence is correct.
• The sentence before the blank tells about the similarities of cuisine among
Malaysian and the sentence after the blank tells about spicy dishes being one
of the national favourites.
• So , by referring to the sentence given by the text , the answer can lead to
a
sentence that shows examples of dishes that was favoured by the Malaysian.
• Therefore , the option that shows the example of common Malaysian dishes is
“ D ”.

ASK QUESTION IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT ABOUT THE SUBJECT.
