Some tricks and hints for Text Completion questions:
- Attempt all questions of text completion type at the very beginning. They get completed in no time.
- These questions are completely based on your vocabulary. So, build your vocabulary and a total of 6 questions each section will be in the pocket in no time.
- Do not look for synonyms in the options and conclude that they are the correct answers. There may be 2 pairs of synonyms. For e.g. in the above example, A and F are also synonyms. But they do not fit the blank correctly.
- Try to fill out the blank with your own word without looking at the options. Then try to find the synonyms in the options.
- Double check your options by reading the entire sentence with your selected option.
- Do not waste a lot of time on these questions. If you are unable to answer, make a guess and move on. Reading comprehensions require a lot of time.
