These questions ask you to choose the most appropriate word or phrase for the underlined portion of the sentence.  \n• The second type is construction shift questions. These questions ask that a sentence be rewritten according to the criteria shown while maintaining essentially the same meaning as the original sentence.  \nWithin these two primary categories, the questions are also classified according to the skills being tested. Some questions deal with the logic of the sentence, others with whether or not the answer is a complete sentence, and still others with the relationship between coordination and subordination.  \nSentence Skills Sample Questions  \nDirections for questions 1–12  \nSelect the best version of the underlined part of the sentence.
