Questions
- Finding links between items is possible for certain people by utilising their …………..
- They enjoy mental challenges and are skillful at ……….. which require planning and foresight.
- People with this type of intelligence are often good at going beyond the obvious by …………. and …………….
Answers
- logical skills
- games
- you can’t have the answer “chess” because the grammar would be wrong. “games which require” = plural noun.
- “planning and foresight” is a paraphrase for “strategy”.
- investigating analysing (it is also possible to write “investigating, analysing”)
- “investigating and analysing” is WRONG. You are asked to provide the missing words. The word “and” is not missing. Be very careful not to lose marks in this way!
I hope this lesson was useful to you.

Hello Liz .
Thank you very much Liz .. your website has a lot of benefit.
Liz, you are simply amazing woman
this site was recommended by a friend…thank you very much Liz for your valuable tips and review strategies.
Hi Liz
Thank you all the time:)
I have a question with 2nd one.
Is it possible ‘games involving strategy’?
The word “strategy” has already been paraphrased in the question and does not need to be repeated.
I agree with you Liz.
But, Shall I lose marks if repeated?
It would be wrong.
Strategy means planning and thoughts which has already been explained in the question. That’s why it is not required. Only “games” will be perfect.
Thank u mam , I hope I am improving my reading skill.
Hello Liz,
As you told that we cannot change the form of the word, (investigation, analysis) is it applicable for all sections of the reading ?
All sections.
Thanks a lot ma’am for your unparalleled teachings.
please, can I write investigating (and) analysing in the answer to question 3?
You can’t use brackets in your answers.
Hello Liz!
Thank you for the post. I have a question regarding this reading exercise. Is it possible to write ‘investigation,analysis’ for the answer to question 3? Will that be grammatically correct?
Thanks again!
You can’t change the form of the words. Write your answers exactly as they are written in the passage.
Liz, why isn’t the second answer deductive reasoning?
Deductive reasoning is not about planning and foresight – it’s about understanding.
Thank you very much, Liz, for your valuable help and lessons!
logical skills
deductive skills
investigation and analysis
I would have gotten all answers correct if not that I wrote ” chess” instead of “games”. All the same, I’m happy because this is my first time of trying. Bless your heart, Liz.
