The word you choose to fill the gap must fit both grammatically and logically into the sentence. Even if you find the relevant information in the passage, the word needs to make sense within the gap fill sentence.
- Why This Is Important: Choosing the correct word involves more than just finding it in the passage. It must also fit the sentence structure and meaning.
- How to Apply It:
- Check the part of speech required (e.g., noun, verb, adjective) and ensure that the word from the passage matches.
-
- Ensure logical consistency. The word you choose should make sense within the context of the sentence.
Example: If the sentence says “The project was delayed by ______,” the word that fills the gap should logically refer to a reason for the delay (e.g., “bad weather,” not “completed on time”).
