The GRE/ GAT sentence completion practice test is to fill in the blanks. It is designed to understand the gist of something even without hearing (or reading) every word. A GRE sentence completion practice test may contain more than one blank. Some words or a pair of words are suggested to fill the blank. Select the word or a pair of words that best completes the sentence’s meaning. Note that there may be more than one choice that makes sense, but only one completely carries out the full meaning of the sentence. There is one best answer.
