Cloze test is a variation of the sentence completion test. The candidates are required to make a choice from the multiple alternatives for each word blanked out, not in a sentence but in a passage. Thus, this test evaluates the candidates vocabulary power and their ability to judge the overall meaning of a passage even when some words are missing. A passage consists of sentences which are logically related to one another. Therefore, first of all, read the whole passage, get a rough idea of its contents and keep them in your mind as a background. Concentrate on this background to find clues. Tips For Cloze Test 1.If you know the answer, immediately tick it. No technique is to be adopted. The whole process will work in a flash.
2.When you are not sure of the answer, make the right choice through the process of elimination. ELIMINATION TECHNIQUE Step 1: Judge if any of them does not fit into the structure (eliminate). Step 2: Judge if any of them does not fit in with the meaning (eliminate). FOR COACHING & STUDY NOTES OF ALL SUBJECTS OF ALL EXAMS CALL DAS SIR AT 09038870684
Step 3: Between/among the remaining apply your awareness of the common usage or nuances of words. Step 4: Try to find out a clue in the sentence or in a sentence preceding or succeeding it.Sometimes the clue is hidden many sentences away. Step 5: If the final choice has not been reached even now, apply the method of reasoning to hit the target.

2.B. All alternatives pass through Step1 and 2. FOR COACHING & STUDY NOTES OF ALL SUBJECTS OF ALL EXAMS CALL DAS SIR AT 09038870684
Make is eliminated at Step 3 as it is not in common use. Now let us check the nuances. Assist means there is somebody whom you are assisting. Here, there is none. Aid means you are given something to help other that also does not apply. Help is thus the correct choice.

Mellowing shows ripening of a fruit in common use and enrichment in its nuance. All these do not fit with the meaning in the sentence or the passage. Thus ageing is the correct choice.

(A) European (B) Developed (C) Neighbouring (D) Technical (E) Foreign FOR COACHING & STUDY NOTES OF ALL SUBJECTS OF ALL EXAMS CALL DAS SIR AT 09038870684

3.D. At Step 3, feelings, perceptions and plane are eliminated at Step 2 itself because it is common knowledge and also in common usage. Establishment is eliminated at Step2 itself because it does not go with the meaning and we have Experience as the right answer.
4.E. All alternatives except first do not match with the meaning, this becomes clear when you read the sentence a little carefully . This word gives force and real meaning to the sentence. Thus First is the right choice.

5.E. Nurture and admit are eliminated at Step 2 because they do not make any meaning. The clue is in the word first. We nurture a thing which is already there. Admit is out of context. Out of develop, introduce and establish, establish is the right choice because normally an industry is established. Common usage and inference confirm this choice.
6.C. The clue is in the context and also in the neighbouring word depend. Thus all alternatives except self-sufficient are eliminated at Step 4.Reasoning also confirms this choice.
7.B. The word depend again provides us with a definite clue because one depends on only developed nations. Thus at Step 4, all other alternatives like European, neighbouring, technical and Foreign are eliminated.
8.D. The context of the passage now gives sufficient clues. Planned is eliminated at Step 1 at as it does not fit into the structure. Achieved is eliminated at Step 2 because it does not go with the meaning. Beneficial is the right choice be cause the expression in the long term matches with it.
9.A. Exceptional, easy, fast and financial are eliminated at Step 2 because the clue is in the word long term before and advantage after the gap. In common usage also long term is matched by temporary.
10.C. Days and months and also years are eliminated because there is no definite information given in the passage. Much FOR COACHING & STUDY NOTES OF ALL SUBJECTS OF ALL EXAMS CALL DAS SIR AT 09038870684
is contradictory in meaning and thus is eliminated at Step 2. The only choice left is immediately and this matches with the meaning.
