Re: Inserting Three Letter ?s
The full list can be found here... GL Question types at a glanceMissing Word (IPS Type F)
The word in capitals has had THREE consecutive letters removed, without changing the order of these letters they will make one correctly spelt word. The sentence must make sense. Find the three letter word and mark it on the answer sheet.
Example: The children GATED in the hall.
Answer: HER (gatHERed)
The clue is usually in the sentence. He should look at the key words and context of the sentence to help him figure out the missing word.
He could also think of words that could fit in that place which would make the sentence hold true (make sense), then find synonyms for it using the letters that have the missing 3 letters.
Good Luck

Re: Inserting Three Letter ?s
A list of 3 letter words I found to help with the missing word questions, which I've edited to exclude any words I believe are inappropriate for this forum. Apologies if you find any dodgy ones I may have left off, let me know and I'll remove them.
