Mike and Bob Bryan made changes to the types of ______ used on their racket frames.

  • Answer: Paint
  • Strategy Used:
    • Step 1: Read the incomplete sentence. The sentence is asking for something that was changed on the racket frames. I expect the missing word to refer to something physically applied to the frame.
    • Step 2: Skim the passage for relevant information. In Paragraph 3, I find the part where Mike and Bob Bryan discuss their racket customizations: “They explain how they have adjusted not only racket length, but even experimented with different kinds of paint.”
    • Step 3: Match the meaning. The word paint fits the gap, as it refers to the changes made to the frame. Therefore, the correct answer is paint.
