Tips for the KEY Open Cloze (Part 5)
Part 5, the Open Cloze, focuses mainly on grammar. Here are some tips to follow when attempting the Open Cloze task:
Make sure you read the complete text first before trying to answer any questions. This will sometimes help you to identify missing words.
Remember that only one word is missing and that contractions count as two words!
Pay attention to the clauses and words around each gap as these will usually help you identify which word is missing. For example, if the gap is after a verb, is it possible a preposition is missing? If the gap follows a comma, could the missing word be a relative pronoun (who, that, which etc.)? If the gap appears at the beginning of a sentence, could the missing word be a linking word such as 'However' or 'Although'? You'll need to read the sentences before and after to work this last one out.
Remember that Part 5 focuses mainly on grammar so the missing words are likely to be pronouns, prepositions, determiners, adverbs, linking words etc.
