The following example of a Text Completion question shows how all answer choices appear to fit perfectly but only two specific words actually make logical sense.

Directions: For each blank, select one entry from the corresponding column of choices. Fill all blanks in the way that best completes the text.

Frustrated that she missed the simple trick to answering the GRE question, Faye (i) _____ her book out the window with such (ii) _____ that it soared high into the sky, prompting three of her neighbors to grab their phones and post videos on Instagram.

The key word in this example is frustrated, which conveys a strong negative emotion. Choices (B) and (D), hurled and ferocity, are the only choices that support such a negative emotion. Note that this is a single, two-part question. You may select any of the three answer choices for each blank, but you must choose both correct answers to earn credit for the question.

The following example of a Sentence Equivalence question shows how all six answer choices appear to fit within the sentence structure, but only two answers actually support the meaning of the sentence.

Directions: Select the two answer choices that, when used to complete the sentence, fit the meaning of the sentence as a whole and produce two completed sentences that are alike in meaning.

The sentence suggests that Billy did well on the GRE. The best words to convey GRE success are aced and passed, making Choices (A) and (C) the correct answers. Again, you must select both of these correct answers to earn credit for the question.
