MCQ Sentence Completion

Directions: Sentence completion tests your ability to use the information found in complex, but incomplete, sentences in order to correctly complete the sentences. Sentence completions test two separate aspects of your verbal skills: your vocabulary and your ability to follow the internal logic of sentences.
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)
