What this section tests
This section is tested with Note Completion (Q15–19), Sentence Completion (Q20–27). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.
Questions 15–19: Note Completion
Strategy: Predict the word class from the note, find the paraphrase of the note's keyword in the passage, then copy the answer exactly within the word limit.
“we currently have a vacancy for a food preparation assistant in our restaurant at Locksley Stadium”
The gap needs a place name after 'Locksley'; 'our restaurant at Locksley Stadium' supplies the capitalised proper noun Stadium.
“It goes without saying that working as an effective and supportive member of a team is essential so you need to be happy in this type of work”
A singular noun is needed after 'member of a'; the text says an effective 'member of a team is essential'.
“The role includes the usual responsibilities, such as treating hygiene as your number one priority”
The note needs an uncountable noun for cleanliness standards; 'treating hygiene as your number one priority' gives exactly that.
“He or she will be required to familiarise themselves with the storage system, so as to put food product supplies in the proper place and retrieve them in the right order”
Before 'system', the noun storage fits: staff must learn the storage system to shelve supplies correctly.
“You can expect to work an average of around 18 hours a week, although this cannot be guaranteed”
The gap follows 'cannot be', needing a past participle; the 18 weekly hours 'cannot be guaranteed'.
Questions 20–27: Sentence Completion
Strategy: Find the stem's keyword in the passage, then complete the sentence with the exact words the grammar requires, within the word limit.
“Unlike a limited company, a partnership doesn't have a separate legal status”
A noun after 'separate legal' is required; a partnership 'doesn't have a separate legal status'.
“this means, among other things, that if your business cannot afford to pay its debts, you must pay them yourselves”
The verb phrase 'pay its' needs a plural noun; the business's 'debts' must be paid by the partners themselves.
“Partners share the business's profits, and each partner pays tax on their share”
Partners 'share the business's profits', so the plural noun profits completes the idea of shared earnings.
“You should register your name as a trademark if you want to stop people from trading under your business name”
After 'from', a gerund is needed; a trademark stops people 'trading under your business name'.
“it is advisable to search on the internet for the name you are considering”
The phrase 'search on the' requires a noun; the advice is to search 'on the internet' for the proposed name.
“You must include all the partners' names and the business name (if you have one) on official paperwork, for example invoices”
Official paperwork such as 'invoices' needs the partners' names and the business name on it.
“Alternatively, you can appoint an agent to deal with HMRC on your behalf”
After 'appoint an', a singular person noun fits; you may 'appoint an agent to deal with HMRC'.
“you could be charged a penalty”
The passive 'be charged a' needs a singular noun; late filing means 'you could be charged a penalty'.
