To get the correct answer understand:
1. Meaning - alamin ung idea nung whole text, from then, malalaman mo ung most applicable word sa choices.
2. Word Choice - kahit puro synonyms ung choices, isa lang lang pinaka-appropriate answer dun.
3. Word Pairs - ito, ung mga words na usually appears together, they call it "collocations".
4. Grammar - sa choices, may noun, adjective, adverb etc. figure out anong part of speech ung hinihingi.
Remember: Articles and Adjectives comes before the noun.
Sana makatulong, goodluck sa next take.
