  • When we take a look at the text before trying to fill in the blanks, we can tell it is about things that happened in the past.
  • Thus, we can assume most verbs will be in the past tense or will use the past participle form.
  • To begin answering, we must read the text and look for places where one of the options sounds more obvious.
  • For example, when we talk of books, the verb "publish" is usually used. Since a manual is a book, we are likely to use "publish" with it.
  • We repeat that process, answering the easier ones first, until we are left with the least obvious blanks.
  • Here, we can try different combinations to see what fits - what sounds right.
