Candidates must have a strong command over English language, along with a flair for grammar anda good vocabulary to solve questions based on cloze test. More importantly, it is important to understand the flow and context of the passage.  \nAPPROACHES TO SOLVE CLOZE TEST Read Thoroughly  \nRead the passage provided very thoroughly to form an idea about the topic. Read slowly and gain an understanding of the text. Once the theme of the text is somewhat clear, your job becomes easier. You can then goon to think of the appropriate words that suit the situation being described and proceed to filling in the blanks.  \nLink the Sentences Together  \nRemember that it is a passage with sentences that are connected to each other. Do not make the mistake of treating each sentence like an individual one and filling in the blanks accordingly. Try to come up with logical connections that link up the sentences together and your job will automatically become easier.  \nThe Type of Word to Fill in  \nNow look at the blanks carefully and assess the kind of words you have to fill in. Which part of speech would it be? Would it be a noun, a pronoun, a verb, a preposition, a conjunction or an article? For example  \nA noun– I forgot to carry my   to school. I therefore had to share with my friend.  \nThe logical answer here would be a book or tiffin.  \nAn article– He ate   papaya and threw   seeds away. Articles are usually the easiest to answer. Fill in ‘a’ and ‘an’where talking about general facts and ‘the’ when using it before something specific. Here, the answer is ‘the’ or ‘his’in the first case and ‘the’ or ‘its’ in the second.  \nA verb–   for half an hour left me breathless. The idea of being breathless connotes something strenuous like‘exercising’ or ‘running’.In this way, think of the appropriate word to fill in.  \nEliminate Options  \nWe can easily identify most unfit/illogical words in answer options. We should quickly eliminate these words. Only after that we should try to most fit word. Elimination will enhance accuracy and hence score.  \nGo with Frequently Used Words  \nSometimes, you may not be able to decide between two words. In this case, if you see a word in the options that is frequently used with the words around the blank, then pick that option. For example-Can I have a   word with you?  \nA. swift  \nB. quick  \nC. prompt  \nYou can see that the three options nearly mean the same thing. How do you decide which one fits the blank? Sometimes in English, some words are used more frequently with some others. Like ‘bad habit’, ‘hardly ever’,‘happy ending’, ‘take a seat’, ‘make room’ etc. In the same way, the words ‘quick’ and ‘word’ are used together frequently. So ‘quick’ should be your answer in this case.  \nCheck Tone OF passage  \nThe passage is usually written in a certain tone; sometimes narrative, sometimes critical, sometimes humorous. Pick words that fit in with the tone of the passage. For example  \n–  \nJonah   down the stairs, bumping along like a quarter ina tumbling dryer.  \nA. tumbled  \nB. fell  \nC. dropped  \nClearly, you can use either ‘tumbled’ or ‘fell’ in this blank. But the rest of the sentence is written in a humorous vein. So we try to maintain the tone of the sentence. This is best accomplished by the use of the word ‘tumbled’ as it brings to mind images of people falling funnily.  \nPractice More  \nIn the end, there is no substitute for hard work and practice. Try to complete three to four passages each day while preparing and get an insight into your problem areas. Work on them and go deliver your best  \nTHOUGHT PROCESS - WHILE SOLVING QUESTIONS  \nSTEP 1 : Read the statement carefully and first, try to fill the missing word without looking at the options. Guess it! Predict it!  \nSTEP 2 : Choose the word from the options that best replaces the word that you had thought of","cbCaipflteF3pCQD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipflteF3pCQD","pdf",1778618,87,"English","# Introduction\n# Approaches to Solve Cloze Test\n## Read Thoroughly\n## Link the Sentences Together\n## The Type of Word to Fill in\n## Eliminate Options\n## Go with Frequently Used Words\n## Check Tone of Passage\n## Practice More\n# Thought Process While Solving Questions\n## Step 1\n## Step 2\n## Step 3\n## Step 4\n## Step 5\n# Grammar Rules and Guidance\n## Prepositions, connectors, conjunctions\n## Auxiliary verbs, articles, pronouns\n## Comparative or superlative","[{\"question\":\"What is a cloze reading test and what skills does it assess?\",\"answer\":\"A cloze reading test provides a passage with missing words.
