The questions per passage would range from 1 to 6. Questions could cover topics like asking about meaning of the passage, estimation of the passage and the overall concept of the passage.

Text completion
Persons who are skilled in reading do not just grasp the information given in the passage; instead, they have the ability of understanding, evaluating and concluding; reasoning and recognizing from what they have read and understood so far and picture the whole content by recalling it. Text completion tests your ability to choose the correct phrases or words that are missing in the passage.
Passage consists of 1 to 5 sentences with 1 to 3 blanks each. Each blank has 3 choices of answer mostly. Occasionally, there are 5 choices of answer where there is just 1 blank in the passage or sentence. The choice needs to be logically and syntactically correct for the paragraph/sentence.

There are basically things you need to know about these types of questions: 1. They test the words which are rarely used in day to day life.
2. The choices of answers given in the question seems to have similar meaning so that it may be confusing to opt for the correct answer. From this you can understand that vocabulary is very essential in verbal reasoning so, memorizing the meaning or definitions of words will not help you to score instead you must know usage of every word with its contextual meaning so that you can compare words having similar meaning.

The vocabulary words used are more complicated – such as, commence – which leaves me no option than to open the dictionary. He often uses the word “commence” which means “start”.

A language sample analysis (LSA) is a tool that generates the coding and transcriptions of a language sample to document the language used every day in various speaking situations (Miller, Andriacchi, & Nockerts, 2016). Language samples are typically 50-100 words in length and are voice-recorded and then transcribed by the clinician. Language samples are done using spontaneous speech, such as typical conversation, or narrative contexts, such as story or event recalls (Miller, Andriacchi, & Nockerts, 2016). The speech-language pathologist (SLP) will take the recording and write out, in the exact words of the child and clinician, every utterance (Bowen, 2011). The SLP will then "code" the sample.
