Go through the entire passage before filling in the blanks to understand its main idea and context. This helps you grasp the tone, structure, and logical flow, making it easier to choose the most suitable words.
Pay close attention to the grammatical structure of each sentence. Identify what part of speech fits best — whether it’s a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb. Ensure subject-verb agreement, correct verb tense, and proper use of prepositions and articles.
Look for common word pairings, such as “make a decision” or “take a risk.” Using the right collocations makes your sentences sound natural and grammatically correct. With regular reading and practice, you’ll recognize them more easily.
Building a strong vocabulary helps you select the right word from multiple choices. Focus on learning commonly used English words and their synonyms to understand subtle differences in meaning and usage.
When in doubt, remove options that don’t fit the context or grammar of the sentence. This elimination method increases your chances of choosing the correct answer even if you’re unsure.
