Importance of Grammar & Vocabulary in Fill in the Blanks

The Fill in the Blanks section is a perfect blend of accuracy and understanding. It measures a candidate’s command over sentence structure, vocabulary strength, and comprehension ability — all critical for scoring well in the English paper of defence exams.

Here’s how both grammar and vocabulary contribute:

✅ Grammar:

  • Provides the structural backbone of the sentence.
  • Helps in identifying correct verb tenses, articles, prepositions, and conjunctions.
  • Prevents errors like redundancy, inconsistency, or parallelism.
  • Enables logical flow and syntactical correctness.

✅ Vocabulary:

  • Ensures that the word meaning aligns with the sentence’s sense.
  • Helps distinguish between similar-sounding or synonymous words.
  • Builds confidence in handling contextual and idiomatic expressions.
  • Strengthens overall comprehension for related topics like Cloze Test and Comprehension.

By integrating both elements, aspirants learn to solve even the most tricky and nuanced FIB questions with precision — an essential skill for high-scoring candidates in NDA, CDS & AFCAT English sections.
