FCE GRAMMAR TEST 2 PART 3 (USE OF ENGLISH)

For questions 13-24, read the text below and think of the word which best fits each gap.
Use only one word in each gap. There is an example at the beginning (0).

In the exam you write your answers IN CAPITAL LETTERS on a separate answer sheet.

Tip Strip

· Read the text for general understanding.

· Decide which type of word is needed for each gap (noun, adjective, etc).

· Look at the whole sentence, not just the line including the gap.

· Look at the word in capitals to the right of the gap. You may need to add a prefix or a suffix or make other changes to this word.

· Check the meaning of the text to see if the word is singular or plural.

· The word you choose must make sense in the context of the text as a whole. So when you've finished the task, read through and check that the text makes complete sense with your answers in place.

· Check your spelling.
