1
00:00:01,110 --> 00:00:02,100
Hi there again.

2
00:00:02,130 --> 00:00:08,340
Up next, we're going to be taking a look at a sentence completion question or really what I call it

3
00:00:08,340 --> 00:00:09,930
is a field the blank question.

4
00:00:10,530 --> 00:00:17,310
Same thing I think of the sentence completion question being a little bit different in terms of the

5
00:00:17,310 --> 00:00:18,000
title.

6
00:00:18,420 --> 00:00:22,860
A sentence completion question to me is more of where you have.

7
00:00:23,670 --> 00:00:28,020
They give you half the sentence and you have to find the other half of the remaining sentence.

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,930
I like to refer to this as a field of blank question.

9
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,130
The aisles.

10
00:00:32,130 --> 00:00:34,200
People like to refer to it as sentence completion.

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:34,920
I guess it is.

12
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,270
But anyway, it doesn't matter.

13
00:00:36,780 --> 00:00:37,950
It's just labeling.

14
00:00:38,190 --> 00:00:39,270
Let's move on.

15
00:00:39,510 --> 00:00:43,590
So this is a field to blame question and with a field, the plain question.

16
00:00:43,590 --> 00:00:48,990
One thing we know is that a field, the blank question goes in order, right?

17
00:00:48,990 --> 00:00:53,070
So number one, then number two, number three, number four and number five.

18
00:00:53,070 --> 00:00:54,690
Number six, it goes in order.

19
00:00:55,050 --> 00:01:00,660
So when I'm looking at the questions as you very well, as you very well know, the first thing from

20
00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:05,610
a strategy standpoint, from a strategy standpoint, I'm looking at which question is going to be the

21
00:01:05,610 --> 00:01:06,420
easiest.

22
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:13,320
Well, this middle question, where we have a date of 1911, that's going to be the easiest for me to

23
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:14,370
find first.

24
00:01:14,970 --> 00:01:15,330
Right.

25
00:01:15,330 --> 00:01:22,200
Also number four with the with x ray radiography, because there's no synonym for it.

26
00:01:22,230 --> 00:01:23,550
That's easy to find.

27
00:01:23,790 --> 00:01:32,070
And my answer choice is going to connect to a medical technique for a number three is going to connect

28
00:01:32,070 --> 00:01:35,340
to whatever's in that sentence is going to be some type of element.

29
00:01:36,450 --> 00:01:39,000
Gold, silver, nickel,

30
00:01:41,820 --> 00:01:42,720
uranium.

31
00:01:43,020 --> 00:01:44,940
Those are those are elements.

32
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:53,550
Sure, nickel's an element, but OC and then we can once we find those, what we know is before number

33
00:01:53,550 --> 00:01:58,320
three is our number two and number one after number four and number five and number six.

34
00:01:58,410 --> 00:01:58,830
Okay.

35
00:01:59,610 --> 00:02:03,420
Now some people will say, well, can I just start with number one if I want to?

36
00:02:03,450 --> 00:02:04,170
Sure.

37
00:02:05,010 --> 00:02:07,140
Sure you can start with number one if you want to.

38
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,550
I'm just talking about from a standpoint of being able to save time.

39
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,090
Right.

40
00:02:12,090 --> 00:02:18,810
So when I'm looking at the passage, I'm going very quickly through, when I'm looking at dates and

41
00:02:18,810 --> 00:02:28,830
I can tell that they're going in order in terms of dates, 1895, 1896, 1897, 1904, 1900, 1906.

42
00:02:28,830 --> 00:02:31,350
There is 1911, right?

43
00:02:31,350 --> 00:02:34,560
So I know that my first question is going to be right there.

44
00:02:35,740 --> 00:02:36,000
Right.

45
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:43,260
So in 1911, Marie Curie, number three, number Marie Curie received recognition for her work on the

46
00:02:43,260 --> 00:02:43,920
element.

47
00:02:44,250 --> 00:02:47,160
So in 1911, she was awarded the Nobel Prize.

48
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,480
That's the recognition.

49
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:49,960
Boom, boom, boom.

50
00:02:49,980 --> 00:02:50,970
That's recognition.

51
00:02:50,970 --> 00:02:52,500
Synonym language, everybody.

52
00:02:53,550 --> 00:02:57,720
For chemistry, for the isolation of a pure form of radium.

53
00:02:58,260 --> 00:03:01,320
Radium is the only element that's mentioned.

54
00:03:01,350 --> 00:03:03,050
That means my answer is radium.

55
00:03:03,060 --> 00:03:04,950
To avoid spelling mistakes.

56
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,330
You can highlight it.

57
00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:08,280
You can copy it.

58
00:03:09,180 --> 00:03:10,260
You can paste it.

59
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,060
Okay.

60
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,910
And then for number four, if I'm not right here, we have a scrollbar which lets you scroll up and

61
00:03:18,910 --> 00:03:23,500
down very quickly when they have to give you a long passage, which is nice.

62
00:03:23,770 --> 00:03:28,270
I really like it that how they have the reading passage on the left side, the questions on the right

63
00:03:28,270 --> 00:03:29,020
side.

64
00:03:29,290 --> 00:03:36,970
That's very helpful because those of you that have taken the paper based test before, you very well

65
00:03:36,970 --> 00:03:43,360
know how challenging it can be sometimes to have to flip the page, flip the page, flip the page,

66
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,450
flip the page.

67
00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:46,780
That can be a real bother sometimes.

68
00:03:46,780 --> 00:03:53,170
So I think being able to look at them across from each other is a big, big help.

69
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:02,840
I'm going to do number four next because I know it's after number three and right here I see x radiography,

70
00:04:05,330 --> 00:04:05,520
right?

71
00:04:05,630 --> 00:04:08,480
That lets me know that that's where number four is going to be.

72
00:04:09,530 --> 00:04:11,810
Now, what am I looking for here?

73
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,950
I'm looking for my know my answer.

74
00:04:13,970 --> 00:04:19,730
My answer choice for number four has to connect to some type of medical technique.

75
00:04:20,630 --> 00:04:21,020
Right.

76
00:04:21,020 --> 00:04:22,790
Some type of medical technique.

77
00:04:23,870 --> 00:04:30,890
So during World War One, with the help of her daughter, she devoted herself to the development of

78
00:04:30,890 --> 00:04:37,940
X radiography, including the mobile units which came to be known as the little curies used for the

79
00:04:37,940 --> 00:04:45,500
treatment of their is the language right there used for the treatment of that is synonym for what medical

80
00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:46,310
technique?

81
00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:50,890
Treatment of medical technique for wounded soldiers.

82
00:04:50,900 --> 00:04:58,130
Now, some people would probably would make the mistake of putting the answer as wounded soldiers.

83
00:04:58,460 --> 00:05:03,230
Wounded soldiers, what does our answer what is the direction say?

84
00:05:03,230 --> 00:05:06,080
What the direction say one word only.

85
00:05:06,620 --> 00:05:09,650
So we don't put the word that describes the type of soldier.

86
00:05:09,650 --> 00:05:11,570
We just put the word soldier.

87
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:12,810
Right.

88
00:05:12,890 --> 00:05:22,700
We just put the word soldier control c control v the word the answer choice is soldiers.

89
00:05:23,510 --> 00:05:30,230
If you put wounded if you put wounded soldiers as your answer choice, you will be marked wrong.

90
00:05:30,260 --> 00:05:33,050
You will be it will be you will lose points on that.

91
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,100
Right.

92
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:39,260
So make sure, make sure, make sure that you always read your directions.

93
00:05:40,930 --> 00:05:47,740
So I know, I know five and six are after number four and I know one and one and two are above number

94
00:05:47,740 --> 00:05:48,400
three.

95
00:05:48,490 --> 00:05:50,590
So I'm going to go ahead and find one and 2/1.

96
00:05:50,590 --> 00:05:53,230
I know it has I know one and two are located here.

97
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:55,270
Right.

98
00:05:55,270 --> 00:05:59,290
So for number one, we're looking for.

99
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,180
When uranium was discovered.

100
00:06:04,630 --> 00:06:06,280
When it was discovered.

101
00:06:08,470 --> 00:06:10,780
We're again, we're looking for a type of element.

102
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:13,250
Right.

103
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,930
Had the same property.

104
00:06:14,930 --> 00:06:15,240
So.

105
00:06:15,260 --> 00:06:15,590
Not.

106
00:06:15,650 --> 00:06:16,910
Not uranium.

107
00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:18,410
Not uranium.

108
00:06:18,410 --> 00:06:21,410
But another element.

109
00:06:21,590 --> 00:06:22,670
Another element.

110
00:06:23,060 --> 00:06:23,780
So.

111
00:06:25,970 --> 00:06:27,500
Let's look for that language.

112
00:06:32,570 --> 00:06:32,880
Okay.

113
00:06:33,220 --> 00:06:34,360
Here it is right here.

114
00:06:39,130 --> 00:06:39,790
All right.

115
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,490
Uranium was discovered.

116
00:06:43,990 --> 00:06:44,260
All right.

117
00:06:44,260 --> 00:06:49,240
So which Marie later called radioactivity.

118
00:06:49,390 --> 00:06:55,480
Marie decided to find out if the radioactivity discovered the uranium was to be found in other elements.

119
00:06:55,990 --> 00:06:56,320
Right.

120
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,290
So now they're going to they're going to in other elements.

121
00:06:59,290 --> 00:07:05,710
So they're going to mention in the next sentence, we know this because things go from general to specific.

122
00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:07,780
Things go from general to specific.

123
00:07:07,810 --> 00:07:10,690
She wanted she wanted to know if it could be found in other elements.

124
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,660
That means in the next sentence, they're going to tell you the element.

125
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,840
So she discovered that this was true for thorium.

126
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:18,850
Right.

127
00:07:18,850 --> 00:07:25,870
So when it says had the same property, that's the same as saying this was true, for it has the same

128
00:07:25,870 --> 00:07:27,790
properties of radioactivity.

129
00:07:28,210 --> 00:07:30,580
That means the answer choice would be thorium.

130
00:07:30,790 --> 00:07:32,020
So we highlight it.

131
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:33,780
We control.

132
00:07:33,790 --> 00:07:44,170
When I say control, I'm pressing the button on the keyboard that says Ctrl write control C like cat

133
00:07:44,860 --> 00:07:46,780
control V like victory.

134
00:07:46,780 --> 00:07:49,480
And that's how I put that's the way put the answer choice in there.

135
00:07:50,980 --> 00:07:57,820
Number two, Marie and Pierre Curies research into the radioactivity of the mineral known as.

136
00:07:58,780 --> 00:08:00,430
So we're looking for.

137
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,290
The radioactivity of a mineral known as.

138
00:08:08,910 --> 00:08:10,980
They led to discovery of two other elements.

139
00:08:10,980 --> 00:08:12,180
Two new elements.

140
00:08:13,350 --> 00:08:13,710
Right.

141
00:08:13,710 --> 00:08:19,350
So her research into the radioactivity of the mineral known as.

142
00:08:21,610 --> 00:08:27,190
So this is the word number one is this is the word number three and four are that means number two has

143
00:08:27,190 --> 00:08:28,150
to be in here.

144
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:29,940
Right.

145
00:08:29,970 --> 00:08:31,440
Turning her attention to minerals.

146
00:08:31,980 --> 00:08:32,310
Okay.

147
00:08:32,370 --> 00:08:34,890
So topic scientist tells me exactly where it is.

148
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:36,630
Right.

149
00:08:36,630 --> 00:08:42,480
So turning our attention to minerals, she found her entrance drawn to Pitchblende, a mineral whose

150
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:48,090
radioactivity superior to that of uranium be explained only by the presence of one or small quantities

151
00:08:48,090 --> 00:08:50,520
of an unknown substance.

152
00:08:51,630 --> 00:08:57,000
Pierre, her husband, joined the work he had undertaken to resolve this problem, led to discovery

153
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,700
of new elements polonium and radium.

154
00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:06,570
Polonium and radium are the two new elements because the lance has led to the discovery of that means

155
00:09:06,570 --> 00:09:13,020
for number two, what they've done for number two is they've taken they've taken these two sentences.

156
00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:16,620
They've taken these two sentences for number two.

157
00:09:17,310 --> 00:09:24,300
And and they've they've combined they've they've taken the essence or paraphrased.

158
00:09:24,630 --> 00:09:28,290
They paraphrase those two sentences into one sentence.

159
00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:34,140
And that's sometimes how questions are created now.

160
00:09:34,140 --> 00:09:38,580
So it should be clear to you now that the answer is pitchblende, right?

161
00:09:38,580 --> 00:09:44,100
Radioactivity of the mineral known as drawn to pitchblende a mineral.

162
00:09:44,370 --> 00:09:44,730
Right.

163
00:09:44,730 --> 00:09:49,920
So sometimes what, what they what they do is they reverse the language.

164
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:55,530
They reverse the language here says mineral, known as pitchblende.

165
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:58,950
Here it says drawn to pitchblende, a mineral.

166
00:09:59,280 --> 00:09:59,570
Right.

167
00:09:59,580 --> 00:10:02,580
So they have switch, they reverse the language.

168
00:10:02,580 --> 00:10:07,050
And very often sometimes they'll do that to trick a student or fool the student so they don't see the

169
00:10:07,050 --> 00:10:08,070
answer choice.

170
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,020
So you need to be aware of that.

171
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,810
So our answer here would be pitchblende.

172
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:33,320
And next, we're looking for number five.

173
00:10:33,340 --> 00:10:37,120
Marie Curie saw the importance of collecting radioactivity.

174
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:37,900
All right.

175
00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:40,930
So we're talking about collecting radioactive material.

176
00:10:41,380 --> 00:10:46,300
That's what this is referring to, both for research and cases of something else.

177
00:10:46,310 --> 00:10:47,530
So it's two things.

178
00:10:47,650 --> 00:10:49,240
One reason is research.

179
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,050
And then when we look in the reading passage, it's going to tell us the other one.

180
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:54,310
Right.

181
00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:56,050
So collecting radioactivity.

182
00:10:56,050 --> 00:10:59,200
So when I'm this is where number four is right here.

183
00:10:59,530 --> 00:11:06,100
So I'm going to keep on scanning and I'm looking for something that's talking about her seeing the importance

184
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:08,110
of collecting radioactivity.

185
00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:12,070
Right.

186
00:11:13,740 --> 00:11:15,930
I'm looking for a synonym for collect.

187
00:11:23,670 --> 00:11:24,180
All right.

188
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,490
Here it is right here.

189
00:11:30,850 --> 00:11:31,280
Okay.

190
00:11:31,850 --> 00:11:33,140
Accumulate a cube.

191
00:11:33,140 --> 00:11:36,170
The word accumulate is a synonym for the word collect.

192
00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:37,040
That means.

193
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,200
I know number five is in that sentence.

194
00:11:39,410 --> 00:11:41,420
As I've told you, things go in order.

195
00:11:42,350 --> 00:11:48,590
One of Marie Curie is outstanding achievements was to have understood the need to accumulate intense

196
00:11:48,590 --> 00:11:54,950
radioactive sources, not only to treat illness, but also to maintain an abundant supply of research.

197
00:11:55,340 --> 00:11:58,280
So here we here, right here we have our two things.

198
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,680
But again, we're playing around with reversal.

199
00:12:03,130 --> 00:12:04,840
We're playing around with reversal.

200
00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:05,980
Right.

201
00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:09,010
So here we have we have the first one research.

202
00:12:09,220 --> 00:12:14,200
But here in the sentence, they mentioned it as the second one, but it says what not only not only

203
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,580
to treat illness, but also to maintain research.

204
00:12:18,580 --> 00:12:21,400
So one thing is research, the other one is illness.

205
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,810
But in the passage, they mention illness than research.

206
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,010
In the sentence they mentioned research and then illness.

207
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,930
Now, if I want to, I can just type the word illness there.

208
00:12:35,950 --> 00:12:37,900
And I don't I don't have to copy and paste.

209
00:12:37,900 --> 00:12:39,070
I could just type it there.

210
00:12:39,940 --> 00:12:40,320
Och.

211
00:12:42,510 --> 00:12:42,870
All right.

212
00:12:42,870 --> 00:12:52,410
So and then for the the final one, the radioactive material stocked in Paris contributed to.

213
00:12:52,620 --> 00:12:55,590
We can see that in this last sentence.

214
00:12:55,590 --> 00:12:57,960
Paris stock.

215
00:12:59,360 --> 00:12:59,710
All right.

216
00:12:59,750 --> 00:13:01,130
That means it's right here.

217
00:13:07,450 --> 00:13:12,670
This is where number six is located.

218
00:13:13,330 --> 00:13:20,440
So the radioactivity radioactive material stocked in Paris contributed to the discoveries in the 1930s

219
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,060
of the blank and what was known as artificial radioactivity.

220
00:13:26,500 --> 00:13:26,860
All right.

221
00:13:26,860 --> 00:13:30,520
So right here we see our artificial radioactivity.

222
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:36,850
So again, what they've done here is they've taken these two sentences and these two sentences are connected

223
00:13:36,850 --> 00:13:40,120
because this next sentence starts with a reference pronoun, this work.

224
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:46,810
So we took two sentences there, paraphrasing it into one sentence to create a question.

225
00:13:47,980 --> 00:13:53,260
Och, they're taking two sentences, paraphrasing it into one sentence to create a question.

226
00:13:54,490 --> 00:13:59,830
So here, this information comes from two sentences to create this question.

227
00:13:59,980 --> 00:14:02,680
So when we look at the answer, we look for the answer choice.

228
00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:08,530
We have to read both of those sentences that were used to create that one that one sentence question.

229
00:14:09,580 --> 00:14:16,660
The existence in Paris at the Radium Institute of a stock of 1.5 grams of radium made a decisive contribution

230
00:14:16,660 --> 00:14:21,730
to the sex due to the success of the experiments undertaken in 1930.

231
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,370
So we don't have a discovery yet.

232
00:14:25,210 --> 00:14:27,430
This work prepared the way for the discovery.

233
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:29,090
There it is right there.

234
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,760
Discovery of the neutron.

235
00:14:31,780 --> 00:14:34,120
So our answer is neutron.

236
00:14:34,450 --> 00:14:36,450
Neutron.

237
00:14:38,110 --> 00:14:38,560
All right.

238
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:47,260
So again, I'm really showing you I'm more trying to show you the the way you can use the computer when

239
00:14:47,260 --> 00:14:48,910
you're doing reading comprehension.

240
00:14:49,390 --> 00:14:50,050
Right.

241
00:14:50,110 --> 00:14:57,190
I cover all of the strategy for doing field the blank questions in the previous lectures in the in the

242
00:14:57,190 --> 00:15:01,420
general section or the previous lectures in the academic section.

243
00:15:01,580 --> 00:15:04,510
Our cover strategy several times.

244
00:15:04,510 --> 00:15:05,080
Right.

245
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:10,870
But what I'm trying to show you here are just the different things that you can do when you're doing

246
00:15:10,870 --> 00:15:14,110
reading comprehension on the computer based test.

247
00:15:14,980 --> 00:15:18,700
So I hope this was helpful and I'll see you in the next video.
