Questions 11–13: Sentence Completion
Strategy: Find the stem's keyword in the transcript, then complete the sentence with the exact words the grammar requires, within the word limit.
“The water and the availability of raw materials in the area, like minerals and iron ore, and also the abundance of local fuels, like coal and firewood, all made this site suitable for industry from a very early time”
The gap lists local fuels, and both are named: 'coal and firewood' for early industry.
“At that time, local craftsmen first built an iron forge just behind the village here, on the bend in the river”
The forge was built by 'local craftsmen' behind the village, on the bend in the river.
“By the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the region's rivers supported more than a hundred and sixty water mills – and many of these continued to operate well into the nineteenth century”
'More than a hundred and sixty water mills' gives 160; only the number is needed.
