Now, move on to the list of sentence endings. Carefully read each option and see how it could logically complete the sentence beginning. Use process of elimination to rule out endings that don’t make sense or that are inconsistent with the information in the passage.

• Why This Is Important: Not all sentence endings will fit logically or grammatically with the sentence beginnings. By eliminating illogical endings, you narrow down the possible options.
• How to Apply It:
  1. Match the meaning: Ensure that the sentence ending logically and meaningfully completes the sentence.
  2. Check for grammatical consistency: The sentence ending should fit grammatically with the sentence beginning.
  3. Eliminate irrelevant options: Cross out any sentence endings that don’t match the meaning or context of the sentence beginning.

• Example: If the sentence beginning is “The experiment failed because of…”, the ending must explain a reason for failure, such as “insufficient data” or “poor methodology.” Any ending that doesn’t explain the failure should be eliminated.
