July 14, 2006, Newsletter Issue #76: VERBAL Section --- SENTENCE COMPLETION:
Tip of the Week
Before looking at the answers, try to complete the sentence with words that make sense to you.
Donīt rush your selection. Consider all the answers to make the best choice.
Use the context of nearby words to figure out unknown words.
Donīt overlook the reversing effect of negative words (like not) or prefixes (like un-).
If youīre really stuck for the meaning of a word, try to think of other words that have similar prefixes, roots, or suffixes.
Eliminate choices in double-blank questions if the first word alone doesnīt make sense in the sentence.
Let transition words (like although and likewise) help suggest the best answer.
