2 Verbal Ability
-
- About the Verbal Questions

As already discussed, this section will consist of the following types of questions
i.e. sentence completion, analogy and the critical reading. The detail about each section is
as below;
The purpose of the Verbal Test is to evaluate and analyze your English
comprehension and understanding towards the language. The questions will be
basically asked to judge the sentence completion, analogy and critical reading
skills. The questions of different types i.e. about sentence completion and
analogy testing will be asked randomly. The questions about the critical reading
however will be asked separately.

2.1 Sentence Completion

The questions that come under this category are provided with various choices.
You are asked to complete the sentences by filling in the blanks with the most
suitable choice.
The questions for sentence completion can be related to any of the other areas of
study i . e. science, l i terature, history, geography etc but the subject matter would
not hinder your language abilities. You are asked to complete the sentence with
the use of correct grammar or vocabulary.

These questions try to determine your ability to recognize the correct sentence structure,
right grammar and how you make the correct choice of vocabulary.

Techniques for Sentence Completion

For the sentence completion a few choices are given that could be selected for
completing the sentences. Only one choice is correct out of the several choices.
You have to complete the sentence by selecting the correct choice according to
the grammar or vocabulary. For making the right choice you can benefit from the
following techniques;
After you read the incomplete sentence do not look at the choices. Try to
think about the correct answer yourself. If you think that you have
completed the sentence and found the correct choice you can consult your list
of choices. If the answer you thought matches one of the choices mentioned in
the list that is most probably the right choice to be marked. If i t does not
match with the choice you can look for a synonym replacement. This tactic
is very helpful in finding the right answer, it prevents you from confusing
yourself with the wrong choices.
GAT 4U Mr / Ehab Fahmy MOB: 0530700494

Do not select the choice hastily. Even i f you are satisfied with your choice try
to substitute i t with the other choices so that you are more satisfied with
your decision. Sometimes the other choice fits more appropriately to the
sentence.

When you are asked to complete a sentence, which has two spaces to be filled
in, try to put the first word of every choice in the first blank. Note down the
choice that you find best. Now for the second blank try every second choice of
all choices. Note the choice that you think is most appropriate. Check i f the two
selected choices are matching one of the given pair of choices. If i t does then
select i t as your correct choice, i f not then consider this pair as a wrong
choice and try with the other choices.

If you find difficulty in making sense out of certain words and you are not
very familiar with them you can try to make a guess with reference to the
context of the sentence. Try to break the word into various parts and analyze i
ts meaning e.g. i f you do not know the meaning of the word “civilization” break it
into two i. e. ‘ civilize’ and ‘ ation’ now you may know the meaning of civilize
and through the term ‘ation’ you can make out that the word is a noun of civilize.
If you find the word unfamiliar with prefixes and suffixes divide the word into i
ts parts e. g. prerecording. This word consists of both prefix and suffix. You can
break the word l ike pre-record- ing. Here you know that pre means before,
record means to store and -ing is a term of continuous tense. So you can find this
break up of words quite helpful in making out the right sense. If none of the
technique works try making a guess with reference to the context.

When long and complex sentences confuse you then try to break that sentence
into smaller more sentences by rephrasing i t. After you divide i t compare with
the original sentence to avoid any misinterpretation. If you are satisfied read
the smaller sentences to get the idea more clearly.

words in a pair and look for another similar or equivalent pair of words. You are
provided with five other pairs of words. You are expected to match the original
pair, which is given in the question with one of the pairs in the given choices on
the bases of similar relationships between them. This exercise or such questions
try to determine your basic understanding towards vocabulary and your ability to
recognize the relationship between words. Some questions may also ask you to
select a suitable antonym for a given word.

Techniques for Analogy Questions

For the analogy questions you can follow the guidelines mentioned below;

Do not read the choices before you have analyzed the relationship between
the pair of words, yourself. Try to understand the words more
appropriately and think on which basis the relationship between the
words is formed. After you reach a conclusion read the given choices
afterwards to get a proper match with another pair having the same
relationship.

When you f ind yourself stuck with a word of difficult vocabulary, do not
feel confused. Try to understand i ts meaning reference to the context or i f i
t is somewhat familiar try to remember where and when you heard the
word before. It can be a great help.

Sometimes you find that there is more than one pair that fits well to the
question and is appropriate for the choice, give the original pair a little
more thought so that you can further study the relationship between the
words and narrow i t down to a more distinct one. After you have been
successful in finding a closer relationship you can now scrutinize the two
other pairs that confused you earlier. Repeating the same procedure with
these words would prove useful.

Do not get caught up by the tricks of the test makers. Sometimes the
questions are provided with very tricky and dodging choices that misguide
greatly. Try to think of every choice more specifically and narrowly.

If you are familiar with the parts of speech and their nature, i t can be
beneficial in making a more sensible choice. Remember i f the words in the
original pair are a noun and an adjective, the correct choice you make
should also contain the words in the same grammatical order. Otherwise,
your choice is wrong. So, i f you are confused with two pairs and cannot
choose the correct choice you can easily look at their grammatical order
and give preference to the one, which matches the original one.

Exclude the choice from your consideration that you think is incorrect,
e.g. the choices that do not have the same grammatical unit as of the
original pair cannot match the original pair in anyway. Spend more time
on considering the more possible choices.

You should know about the various kinds of analogies that are more
frequently asked. Some of the common analogy types are as follows;

i. Synonyms
Some words are linked together in a pair which means the same or has a
similar dictionary definition .e.g Pretty- Beautiful

ii. Describing Qualities

Some pairs have some words in which one word describes the other word. Heavy-
Rain

iii. Class and Member

Some pairs have words which are based on class and member basis
e.g. Electronics-Radio

iv. Antonyms
Some pairs consist of the words that are opposite to each other e.g.

Love- Hate

v. Describing Intensity
 GAT 4U Mr / Ehab Fahmy MOB: 0530700494
Some pairs consist of the words in which one describes the intensity of
the other e. g.

Smile-Laughter

vi. Function
In some pairs a word describes the function of the other word e.g.
Pen-Write

vii. Manners
Some words in a speech describe the manners and behavior e.g.
Polite- Speech

viii. Worker-Workplace
Some pairs in a word describe the profession and its workplace e.g. Doctor-Clinic

2.3 Critical Reading Questions

Questions related to critical reading try to judge your reading skills and how you
understand and interpret what you read. The paper includes a few passages that
ask answering questions related to the passage.

Techniques for Critical Reading Exercises

There are a few techniques related to the Critical Reading Questions that prove to
be a good guideline for solving such questions.

1. Do not read the questions before reading the whole passage. Try to skim
through the whole passage and then read the questions to look for a more
specific answer. Read the passage quickly with understanding but do not
panic. Try to analyze what the whole passage is about and what the author
really intends to convey. While reading mark the lines where you think the
passage carries the most important points. These strategies would definitely
help you find the answers.

2. When you find yourself stuck with a question, do not waste your time on it
and go ahead for the next questions. Sometimes, answering other questions
guide you about the earlier question. But, if you still do not find the answer
mark it for doing in the end more calmly, having enough time to think.

3. Try to familiarize yourself with the types of critical reading questions.

Once you know the nature of such questions, you will be able to find the
answers more quickly even when you are reading the passage. The examples of
some commonly asked questions are as follows:

a. Central Idea
Mostly, questions are asked to explain the central idea or main theme of the
whole passage, which analyzes how you skim through it. Sometimes, the
opening and closing lines can give you a better clue about answering such
questions properly.

b. Specific Details
Sometimes to analyze your scanning abilities you are asked to answer some
specific details about the passage. Such questions are about ‘when’, ‘where’,
‘which’ and ‘who’. You can get the answers of this kind of questions from the
GAT 4U Mr / Ehab Fahmy MOB: 0530700494
area of the passage which you marked in the first reading, where you think
the most important and informational remarks of the author lies.

c. Making Inferences
Most of the questions ask you to infer from the passages, making your opinion
about what is said in the paragraph, implying meaning and making your
own point of view. These questions try to assess your judgment; you must be
clear in your mind about what the author is referring to and then make your
own opinion according to your understanding and comprehension. Read and
think about all the choices and analyze each of it logically according to your
comprehension rather than the author’s point of view.

d. Meaning in Context
Some selected words from the passage are pointed out to explain them with
reference to the context to check your reading comprehension. Sometimes the
word that describes something in a dictionary portrays it the other way when
it appears in the context. The test tries to judge your ability to make sense of
the word in the context.

e. Author’s Approach
Some questions ask you to explain the mood in which the author is writing
whether it is sarcastic, humorous, witty, sad etc. When you are asked
questions like these you can look for certain expressions, words, phrases or
exclamations, which describe the tone, mood or style of the author. The
feelings of the writer are mostly exhibited through choice of words. While
answering these questions read the message carefully observing particularly
the use of words.

f. Title Selection
Some passages ask for selecting a title that best suits the passage. Remember
that the chosen title should not be narrowly or broadly selected. Try to avoid
choosing those titles that describes only one or two paragraphs but the one,
which is applicable to the whole passage and portrays it best.

Example Questions

Passage I :

We are profoundly ignorant about the origins of language and have to

content ourselves with more or less plausible speculations. We do not even
know for certain when language arose, but it seems likely that it goes back to the
earliest history of man, perhaps half a million years. We have no direct
evidence, but it seems probable that speech arose at the same time as tool
making and the earliest forms of specifically human cooperation. In the great
Ice Ages of the Pleistocene period, our earliest human ancestors established the
Old Stone Age culture; they made flint tools and later tools of bone, ivory, and
antler; they made fire and cooked their food; they hunted big game, often by
methods that called for considerable cooperation and coordination. As their
material culture gradually improved, they became artists and made carvings and
engravings on bones and pebbles, and wonderful paintings of animals on the walls
of caves. It is difficult to believe that the makers of these Paleolithic cultures
lacked the power of speech. It is a long step Admittedly, from the earliest flint
weapons to the splendid art of the late Old Stone Age: the first crude flints date
back perhaps to 500,000 B.C., while the finest achievements of Old Stone Age
man are later than 100,000 B. C.; and, in this period, we can envisage a
corresponding development of language, from the most primitive and limited
language of the earliest human groups to a fully developed language in the
flowering time of Old Stone Age culture.

How did language arise in the first place? There are many theories about this,
based on various types of indirect evidence, such as the language of children, the
language of primitive societies, the kinds of changes that have taken place in
languages in the course of recorded history, the behavior of higher animals like
chimpanzees, and the behavior of people suffering from speech defects. These
types of evidence may provide us with useful pointers, but they all suffer
from limitations, and must be treated with caution. When we consider the
language of children, we have to remember that their situations are quite
different from that of our earliest human ancestors, because the child is
growing up in an environment where there is already a fully developed
GAT 4U Mr / Ehab Fahmy MOB: 0530700494

language, and is surrounded by adults who use that language and are teaching
it to him.

For example, it has been shown that the earliest words used by children are
mainly the names of things and people (“ Doll,” “ Spoon,” “Mummy”): but,
this does not prove that the earliest words of primitive man were also the
names of things and people. When the child learns the name of an object, he
may then use it to express his wishes or demands: “Doll!: often means “Give me
my doll!” Or “I’ve dropped my doll: pick it up for me!”; the child is using
language to get things done, and it is almost an accident of adult teaching that
the words used to formulate the child’s demands are mainly nouns, instead of
words like “ Bring!”’ “ Pick up!”; and so on.
