Sentence Equivalence

Sentence Equivalence questions require you to complete a sentence by choosing TWO words either of which will fit the blank. The two words must both produce a sentence with the SAME overall meaning. Both choices must be correct; there is no credit given for getting one of the choices correct.

Just as for regular text completion questions, you should read the question carefully and try to think of a word of your own to fit the blank. Once you are sure of the overall meaning of the sentence look carefully at the answer choices. The words you select will be synonyms (or at least closely similar). There may be more than one set of synonyms among the answer choices so ensure that the words you select make logical sense once inserted in the blank.
