Sentence Completion
Definition
This type of question falls under the category of gap-fill questions, requiring you to listen to the audio and complete the phrases by adding the missing words. You will frequently need to finish the sentence's ending, but you could also need to complete phrases' individual words. If you write more words than required, you will be penalized. For each assignment, the word count is either one, two, or three (you should carefully check this; the limit is one, two, or three). Contracted words won't be put to the test. While words with hyphens count as separate words.
