Sentence Completion

Filling in the Blanks

Sentence completion questions give you a sentence with one or two blanks and ask you to choose the correct word(s) to complete it. It’s like solving a mini puzzle!

How to Tackle These Questions

  • Read the whole sentence first to get the main idea.
  • Look for clue words (like “however,” “although,” or “because”) to figure out the tone.
  • Eliminate choices that don’t make sense.

Practice Makes Perfect

The more you practice, the better you’ll get at spotting tricky clues and picking the best word for the sentence.

Real-World Connection

Understanding context helps you interpret instructions and conversations in daily life.

Examples

  • The kitten was so _____ that it fell asleep in my lap (answer: relaxed).

  • Although it was raining, Mia was _____ to play outside (answer: eager).

In a Nutshell

Sentence completion tests your ability to use context clues and vocabulary together.
