- Half the blanks are ordinary words like 'the' or 'that': fill those first and bank the points before the hard ones.
- Decide the part of speech before you look at the letters; grammar fixes the ending more often than meaning does.
- A right word in the wrong form (studying for studied) scores zero, so check the word ending before you move on.
- The first sentence never has a blank, so read it twice: it sets the topic that resolves the ambiguous gaps later.
