Sentence Completion MCQ Questions

The word provided in the option must fit in the sentence’s blank space and make the given sentence meaningful and grammatically correct also. You have to check all the options until you find a suitable answer. After finding the suitable word or phrase mark this option as your correct answer.
Be sure your choice is both logical and grammatically correct. If you don’t know some words, use elimination and educated guessing (elimination method)
