A common mistake students make is reading only a couple of words before the blank and immediately selecting an answer. Instead, read the entire sentence to understand the context before making a choice.
✅ Example: When that happens, staff will help the person _____ out and now a little stressed fish their drugs out of the system.
In this case, reading the full sentence helps you identify clues that will guide your answer selection.
Clues are words or phrases that help determine the correct answer. They can guide you toward the right vocabulary and meaning.
✅ Example:
Once you recognize these clues, selecting the correct answer becomes easier.
When unsure about a word’s meaning, use the elimination method. If you have five options and you’re familiar with four of them but they don’t fit, the remaining word is most likely the correct answer.
✅ Example: Options: Academic, Purpose, Meta, Slung, Strung
Even if you don’t know the exact meaning of “Strung,” by eliminating the wrong options, you can confidently select the right one!
Look for words related to the topic of the sentence. If the sentence talks about a medical check-up, the answer will likely be related to medicine.
✅ Example: On their way out, they might have a blood test, their first _____ checkup in years.
Possible answers: Academic, Purpose, Meta, Slung, Dental
