These questions will present you with sentences which are missing words, which you must fill in while avoiding spelling mistakes.
The prosecutor had to explain the ______ of the murder weapon from the crime scene.
View ExplanationThe correct answer is D. “absence” is a state of not being present or being away. If something was missing from the scene, it was absent.
A is incorrect - the word is misspelled.

C is incorrect - the word is misspelled.
The deadly shooting of a suspect who ______ rocks at officers during a disturbance call in Washington has sparked calls for a federal ________ and weeks of protests.
A. through, investigation B. throw, investigation C. threw, investigation D. throu, invistigasion View ExplanationThe correct answer is C.
When two words are missing we need to go over the answer choices carefully and find the choice which offers correct answers for both of the missing words. Upon reading the sentence it becomes clear that the first missing word is likely a verb and the second missing word is likely a noun. Another thing we can deduce is that all the answer choices provide spelling variations of the same word, and we need to find the correct one.
A is incorrect - “through” is not the right fit for the first missing word, it is a preposition and not a verb, and “investgasion” is a misspelling of the word “investigation.”
B is incorrect - “throw” is a verb but it is in the present tense. The sentence calls for a verb in past tense.
C is correct - “threw” is the right tense and “investigation” is spelled correctly.
D is incorrect- both words are misspelled.

This section is divided into two categories:
This category is all about reading texts and answering multiple-choice questions regarding their contents.
Read the text and answer the following question.
Europe has long benefited from a dense railway network and is the world leader in the supply of railway systems. Employing 1 million people in rail operations and another 250,000 in manufacturing, the European railway sector has a 60% share of the world market and an annual turnover of €95 billion.
Rail transport offers a viable and competitive means of shifting more cargo traffic away from the continent’s crowded roads, thus improving traffic circulation and cutting vehicle-emitted pollution. The EU places particular emphasis on stimulating new investment in trans-European transport infrastructure such as rail, and supports research efforts to create new methods of interoperability, higher safety standards and the reduction of rail-related noise levels.
One of the main advances in the EU's railway system is the recently launched MODTRAIN project. The project brings together, for the first time, all the main European rail system manufacturers, sub-system suppliers and rail operators. Working towards interoperability of national rolling-stock systems, MODTRAIN offers a radical approach to rolling-stock construction. Its goal of reducing the number of single components in a railway carriage from 1,200 to 120 parts and cutting construction time by more than 50% should give a huge boost to the sector’s competitiveness.
QUESTION: Which ONE of the following does the passage suggest about railway transport?
A. It has an annual turnover of €95 billion. B. It reduces air pollution C. It has high safety standards D. It is a good economic investment E. It employs 1.25 million people worldwide F. The EU is not satisfied with it. View ExplanationThe correct answer is B.
The question deals with railroad transport in general, as opposed to Europe's railway. It is based on the following section in the passage: ‘Rail transport offers a viable and competitive means of shifting more cargo traffic away from the continent’s crowded roads, thus improving traffic circulation and cutting vehicle-emitted pollution’. Now that we understand the question and have identified the corresponding section in the passage, let us eliminate distractors:
Statement A follows from the passage but addresses only the European railroad system.
Statement B follows from the passage and addresses rail transport in general.
Statement C does not follow from the passage; the passage says that the EU supports research to ensure high safety standards.
Statement D does not follow from the passage as it is not mentioned in the text.
Statement E follows from the passage but addresses only the European railroad system.
According to the passage, the EU is supporting new research and launching new projects to advance the European railroad system. It does not mean that the EU is not satisfied (statement F).
The only statement that follows from the passage and concerns the railroad system in general is: statement B.
Read the text and answer the following question.
GENERATION WITHOUT FRONTIERS
The current generation of young Europeans is the first to have grown up in a largely borderless and peaceful Europe, with all that implies in terms of mobility, multilingualism, and new cultural and economic opportunities. Whereas their parents and grandparents defined themselves along national lines, many young people today have added a European dimension to that description.
The EU’s Youth in Action program aims to inspire a sense of active European citizenship, solidarity and tolerance, as there is still a certain measure of political disengagement among young Europeans. The program promotes non-formal learning and intercultural dialogue among European youth, as well as the inclusion of all young people, particularly those from less-privileged backgrounds. Its main goal is to bring young Europeans closer to the EU decision-shaping process by backing activities that encourage a sense of active European citizenship amongst them. Another important goal is promoting mutual understanding, by giving young people from different countries the opportunity to meet and learn from one another through intercultural youth exchanges. In addition, The Youth in Action program encourages young people’s mobility within and beyond the EU borders, thus giving them the opportunity to expand their horizons and gain valuable life and work experiences.
QUESTION: Which one of the following is NOT furthered by the Youth in Action program?
