READ ABOUT STRATEGY

Ok - Before you begin, let's review the strategy: A sentence completion item is the one kind of question which is designed to have a clue built in. Find the clue and you have the answer! Let's do this one together. The chamber orchestra refuses to identify its members; it is this insistence on _______ that sets this ensemble apart. Now don't look at the answers yet! Just ask yourself, "what part of the sentence 'mirrors' the blank"? In this case you should recognize that the words "refuses to identify its members" is the phrase that serves as a clue to the answer. So, the answer is one word which means "a refusal to reveal an identity." Go through each answer one by one and mark the ones which might mean this; eliminate words that you know do not have this meaning. If you get down to two, then make a guess. Now here is the sentence again with its possible answers: The chamber orchestra refuses to identify its members; it is this insistence on _____ that sets this ensemble apart. a) longevity b) disparity c) anonymity d) mediocrity e) dissonance The answer is "C."
