2 Verbal Ability
2.1About 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 1.1 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.

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.
GAT 4U Mr / Ehab Fahmy MOB: 0530700494

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
GAT 4U Mr / Ehab Fahmy MOB: 0530700494

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.

2.1.2Analogy Questions

Analogy means similarity in examples or describing likeness between two or more


words. These questions ask the reader to analyze the relationship between two
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,
GAT 4U Mr / Ehab Fahmy MOB: 0530700494

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
GAT 4U Mr / Ehab Fahmy MOB: 0530700494

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
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

4.1.2 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.

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.

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.

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:

o 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.
GAT 4U Mr / Ehab Fahmy MOB: 0530700494

o 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 area of the passage
which you marked in the first reading, where you
think the most important and informational remarks
of the author lies.

o 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.

o 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.

o 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
GAT 4U Mr / Ehab Fahmy MOB: 0530700494

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.

o 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
GAT 4U Mr / Ehab Fahmy MOB: 0530700494

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
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.
