Fill in the Blanks Questions with Solutions
Fill in the blanks questions give a sentence with one or two missing words and ask you to choose the option that fits best. They test vocabulary, grammar and your understanding of the sentence's meaning. Common types include single blanks, double blanks, and blanks that test prepositions, articles, conjunctions or verb forms. Read the complete sentence before looking at the options and predict the kind of word that fits. Clue words are especially helpful. "Although" and "but" signal a contrast, "because" and "so" signal cause and effect, and "and" usually links words of similar meaning. For double blanks, eliminate options using the easier blank first. Then reread the sentence with your chosen option to make sure it is both grammatically correct and logical. Practise the fill in the blanks questions below. Each solution explains why the correct word fits and the others don't.
