The purpose of the Text Completion questions is to measure the ability to recognize words or phrases that both logically and stylistically complete the meaning of a sentence.

In deciding which of words or sets of words can best be substituted for blank spaces in a sentence, one must analyze the relationships among the component parts of the incomplete sentence.

One must consider each answer choice and decide which completes the sentence in such a way that the sentence has a logically satisfying meaning and can be read as a stylistically integrated whole.
