Common Mistakes to Watch For

Confusing word forms (Q16–20): Students often select the verb form when a noun or adjective is required. Remind students to look at the position of the blank in the sentence and identify what part of speech is needed.
Not reading the full context (Q11–15): Students may choose an answer based on partial reading. Encourage them to read the entire sentence before selecting an answer.
Mixing up synonyms and antonyms (Q1–10): Students sometimes rush and select a synonym when the question asks for an antonym (or vice versa). Remind them to read the section heading carefully.
