Matching sentence endings

Match each sentence beginning to the ending the passage supports.

You answer with: One letter per sentence beginning
Answer order: Follows the passage

Test instructions

Complete each sentence with the correct ending, A–G, below.

Choose the correct ending and move it into the gap.

What this task is

Sentence beginnings are on one side, with a longer list of endings on the other. Every ending fits every beginning grammatically, so grammar will not help you choose. Check the meaning against the passage.

The beginnings follow passage order, so you know where in the text to check each completed sentence.

The traps

The common mistakes in this question type. Learn to spot each one before test day.

The sensible pairing

Several endings make sensible real-world sentences with a given beginning. Only one makes the sentence the passage actually supports.

Spare endings

There are more endings than beginnings, so two or three endings match nothing.

What to do next time

Work beginning by beginning, in order. Find its region of the passage, then test the endings against that region.
Read the full completed sentence and check it as a claim. Is this sentence true according to the text?
Do not spend effort eliminating on grammar. The test writers already made every combination grammatical.
