What is involved in sentence completion questions?
You need to try to predict the kind of words that are missing before you look for the answers.
How should I write my answers?
You should only use words from the passage, and you must use no more word than you are told to use. They should be written exactly as they are in the reading passage (Numbers too) and they have to be slelt correctly. Do not include unnecessary words, or repeat words that are already provided in the sentence.
How are these question type different from sentence completion?
The questions are not full sentences, so you need not worry about the grammatical correctness of a sentence.
What is involved in short answer questions?
You need to underline or highlight the key words in the questions that tell you what kind of information to find and how much to write in your answer. These are often words like when, who, how many, which, etc.
