It is important to note that just because the answer choice yields two similar sentences, it does not mean the words will
be synonyms. Likewise, avoid automatically selecting synonyms from the answer choices just because they are alike. You
will often see pairs of words that are similar in meaning in the answer choices that are not the correct answer. 
Also keep in mind that even though a word may fit into the sentence, that does not mean that the word is the correct
answer choice. You are not looking for two words that make sense; you are looking for two words that both make sense

and
create a sentence that is similar in reasoning.
Approaching the Blanks Strategically 
Sentence Equivalence questions are rather straightforward: find the missing words that best complete the sentence. 
Instead of just diving into them, however, you still want to be strategic about your approach. Keep these strategies in
mind as you work through the Sentence Equivalence questions in the Verbal Reasoning section.
Read and Understand 
Read the entire sentence before moving on to the answer choices. Do not confuse yourself by oscillating back and forth
between the sentence and the answer choices before you actually have an understanding of what is happening in the
sentence. Pay close attention to the language of the sentences before considering what the missing words might be. 
Predict and Answer 
Once you have an understanding of the flow of the sentence, think about what word could feasibly fill the blank and
make sense in the sentence. Once you have predicted your answer, scan the answer choices and select the two words
that best completes the blank. Remember, just because two answer choices are similar does not mean they fit into the
sentence. Make sure the words you choose actually make sense and create two similar sentences. 
Re-Read 
Once you have your two answers selected for the blank, re-
read the sentence with your answer choices to make sure
it makes sense and flows logically.
