Sentence Correction Part 1

To perform well in SC : try to find out the contextual meaning of the sentence.
Remember that SC doesn't test grammar.

Simple Exercise 1: 
Think about the words below from different aspects:
Nebulous // Sensitized // Dichotomy // Anxiety

You may refer the following books to make yourself stronger :
> English Grammar (Raymond Murphy)
> American Idioms (Search on Internet)

Sample Exercise 2:
Make 12 sentences using the words below:
Look (at/out/over/down/after)

You will find 3 levels of questions in SC sections:
> Easy (Grammar based)
> Moderate (Mixed)
> Challenging (Meaning of the sentence may not be what you have thought)

You need to concentrate on your ABCS :
A - Accuracy
B - Bravity
C - Clarity
S - Specificity
