Missing 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 full list can be found here... GL Question types at a glance

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
