- Only use one word.
- Do not forget that contractions (like don’t or isn’t) count as two words.
- Pay attention to the clauses and words around each gap, as these will help you identify which part of speech is missing. For example, if the gap is after a verb, is it possible a dependent preposition is missing? If the gap follows a comma, could the missing word be a relative pronoun? If the gap appears at the beginning of a sentence, could the missing word be a linking word such as However or Furthermore?
