Reading Strategy :
When you want to know if a sentence fits a gap , read the previous and following sentences of that gap as well as the sentence itself , and ask yourself these questions :
? Does it make sense ?
? Does it fit grammatically ? ( Think about tense , pronouns , singular and plural , this / that , etc . )
? Does it match the topic of the paragraph ?
