Question Formats 
Aside from the number of omitted words, there is not much variation in how Text Completion questions are presented. 
The questions will be shorter than Reading Comprehension questions, containing a couple of sentences at most. 
For each blank, you will have a corresponding column of answer choices. The blanks do not need to be answered in
any particular order; you should make your choices in the way that best makes sense to you. For example, if the correct
answer to the third blank is immediately obvious to you, selecting the answer choice for that blank first can make it
easier to identify the remaining blanks. Some blanks are designed to test vocabulary, while others are more concerned
with comprehension. Be sure to spend some time studying the vocabulary and root word lists in the back of this book
to help strengthen your vocabulary and ability to surmise the meaning of words that you may not know. 
As mentioned above, Text Completions will have 1−3 blanks. You must select all of the correct answers for a question in
order for your response to be credited. Let us take a closer look at these question variations. 
Text Completion Questions with One Blank
Text Completion questions with one blank will present you with a sentence and 5 answer choices. You are to select the
answer choice that best completes the sentence. 
The celebrity designer is known for her outlandish and over-the-
top formal wear, but her new line of gowns seems to be more 
than her previous works. 
A transparent 
B lackluster 
C fancy 
D succinct 

---

 E 
extravagant 
In this one-
blank Text Completion question, there is a transition word (“but”) that sends the argument in a different
direction. So instead of looking for an answer choice that describes something similar to over-
the-top and outlandish, you
are looking for an opposite answer choice, one that connotes less “wow” factor than the designer’s previous work. The
logical answer here is B. The line is more
lackluster
compared to her previous works.
Lackluster
is a logical contrast to 
outlandish
. When you plug 
lackluster
into the sentence, it nestles in perfectly with the transition and sensibly completes
the thought.
