Sentence logic, clues and signal words

By the end you’ll be able to

• Locate the clue words or phrases in the sentence that define what the blank must mean
• Use contrast signals (although, yet, despite, belie, rather than), continuation signals (moreover, indeed, colons and semicolons) and cause-effect signals (because, thus, hence) to set the direction of the blank
• Pre-phrase the missing meaning in your own words before reading the answer choices
