Reading comprehension and the cloze test decide this section, and both reward reading widely more than memorising rules. Build a daily reading habit, learn to spot the grammatical error patterns that recur, and treat vocabulary as something absorbed in context rather than crammed from a list.

Reading comprehension · solved example

Plastic has become both a marvel and a menace. Cheap, light and durable, it revolutionised packaging and medicine. Yet the same durability means that a bag used for minutes can persist in the environment for centuries. Much of it ends up in rivers and oceans, where it breaks into tiny fragments that enter the food chain. Bans on single-use plastic have helped in some cities, but critics argue that bans alone shift the burden onto consumers while producers escape responsibility. A lasting solution, many believe, will require redesigning products so that recycling is easy and profitable.
