This task is similar to the C1 Advanced Reading and Use of English Part 2 - Open cloze. The test tasks contains eight gaps (and one example), this one is longer and contains fifteen gaps.

This task tests your awareness and control of grammar with some focus on vocabulary.

The focus of the gapped words is either grammatical, such as articles, auxiliaries, prepositions, pronouns, verb tenses and forms; or lexico-grammatical, such as phrasal verbs, linkers and words within fixed phrases. The answer will always be a single word. Spelling, as in all parts of the Use of English component, must be correct.

Some gaps in this part can be filled by referring just to the immediate phrase or sentence, but others will require understanding of the paragraph or whole text.
