II. Read and analyze the paragraph with blanks. Complete the concepts by filling out the
numbered blanks with the correct words found inside the box ggiven below. Write you
(1) ______ is a set of numbers which is written in a special order based on
a definite rule. Each number in a sequence is called a (2) . For example,
the numbers 1, 11, 21, 31, 41, 51 is a sequence. The first term is 1, the
second term is 11, the third is 21, the fourth term is 31, the fifth term is
41 and the sixth term is 51. In the sequence a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, …, an, the
third term is . There are (3) types of sequence. The finite
sequence and infinite sequence. The (4) sequence is a
sequence which has no last term. And the other one is (5)
sequence, a sequence which has last term. An (6) or progression
is a sequence where every term after the first is obtained by adding a constant
called the (7) .
