Complete the Word 4
This Complete the Word quiz is about completing unfinished words.
This is the last of our four 11-plus verbal reasoning 'Complete-the-Word' quizzes: if you've done the others, you should already have a fair idea how this works. Each sentence contains an unfinished word in CAPITALS; you have to pick which other three-letter word fits into it, somewhere, so that it makes full and clearer sense.
When looking at each answer, remember that two of the same vowels are rarely next to each other. In addition some consonants don't often sit together ~ for example PC, HW or VB. Other consonants ~ such as ST, CH and DR ~ are regularly found next to each other.
The more you work (and play) with letters and words, the better (and quicker) you will be at spotting the correct answers.
