Example of cloze test:
Let’s
take an example and understand how to solve a cloze test:
Hunter-gatherer
culture was the way of life for early humans until around 11,000 to 12,000years
ago. The lifestyle of hunter-gatherers was ___1___ on hunting animals and
foraging for food. Anthropologists ___2___ discovered evidence for the practice
of hunter-gatherer culture___3___ modern humans (Homo sapiens) and their
distant ancestors dating as ___4___back as two million years ago.
1. (a) based (b) basing
(c)
base (d) bases
Ans. Use of tense: Before fill in the blank verb was
is used so sentence should be in passive voice. Hence 3rd form of the verb
should be used. Rest of option is grammatically wrong.
2. (a)
have (b)
has
(c)
had (d)
having
Ans. Eliminating method: After blank 3rd form of the
verb is used and the sentence is in active voice hence option ‘D’ (Having)
grammatically wrong .The cloze test is in present tense so option ‘c’ is also
grammatically wrong. Here subject is plural so option ‘b’ is also wrong. thus
option ‘a’ will be correct answer.
3. (a) with (b) from
(c)
by (d)
to
Ans. In this cloze the practice of Hunter gatherer
culture is discussed. We use ‘by’ for doer. hence option C (by) will be correct
answer and rest of the options are grammatically wrong.
4. (a) far (b) distant
(c) near (d)
farther
Use of grammar rule:
Ans. In this cloze test we are discussing about the
a past event hence (near) factually wrong. Also, we don’t use comparative
degree with as-as so farther is also grammatically wrong. Distant is used for a
thing or place so option (a) far will be correct option.
