文档介绍：GRE PLETION
Of all the GRE Verbal question types, pletions are probably the most student
friendly. Unlike analogies and antonyms, pletions provide you with a context to
help you figure out tough vocabulary. And unlike prehension questions, they only
require you to read one sentence at a time. As the name suggests, pletion ques-
tions test your ability plete sentences that are missing one or two key words by select-
ing the appropriate answer choice.
The directions for this section look like this:
Directions: This sentence has one or more blank spaces. Each blank indicates that a word
or phrase has been omitted. Of the five following words or sets of words, choose the one
word or set that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the entire sentence.
The difficulty of the pletions you will see on the GRE depends on how many ques-
tions you get right. If you perform well on the Verbal section, you will find that the later sen-
pletions you encounter involve tougher vocabulary and more convoluted logic.
