6. If you have time, return to questions 11 through 15. You should spend extra time on
questions 11 through 15 only after you spend all the time that you want on the easier
questions that follow.
Guess to complete the section before time is up. There is no penalty for guessing, so
it can only increase your score to guess the answers to questions that you do not have
time to complete.

8. PROCEDURES FOR THE STRUCTURE QUESTIONS
DO NOT TRY TO ELIMINATE INCORRECT ANSWERS BY LOOKING ONLY AT THE ANSWERS. THE
INCORRECT ANSWERS ARE GENERALLY CORRECT BY THEMSELVES. THE INCORRECT
ANSWERS ARE GENERALLY INCORRECT ONLY WHEN USED TO COMPLETE THE SENTENCE.
THEN STUDY EACH ANSWER BASED ON HOW WELL IT COMPLETES THE SENTENCE. ELIMINATE
ANSWERS THAT DO NOT COMPLETE THE SENTENCE CORRECTLY.
FIRST, STUDY THE SENTENCE. YOUR PURPOSE IS TO DETERMINE WHAT IS NEEDED TO
COMPLETE THE SENTENCE CORRECTLY.

9. Subject-Verb Agreement
Remember that the subject and verb in the sentence must agree in
person and number.
“Singular subject must have singular verb. Plural subject must have
plural verb”
The elevator works very well. The elevators work very well.
