    Introduction

    Welcome to 501 Sentence Completion Questions! This book


    is designed to help you prepare for the verbal and reading sections of
    many assessment and entrance exams. By completing the 501 sample
    items offered here and by studying their answer explanations, you will
    develop the skills necessary to tackle each type of sentence completion
    question. You will also improve your vocabulary and your process of
    elimination skills.
    Sentence completions test your ability to use the information
    found in complex, but incomplete, sentences in order to correctly
    complete the sentences. Sentence completions test two separate
    aspects of your verbal skills: your vocabulary and your ability to fol-
    low the internal logic of sentences. These sentences are often quite
    complex. Fortunately, there are some strategies that will greatly
    increase your score on these questions. Each of these questions has
    one blank (or, on some tests, two blanks) within a single sentence.
    Often the sentences are long and difficult to follow, but with practice
    you can learn to master them.
