1) Read Slowly and Thoroughly:-
The first step to solve any cloze test question is to read it slowly and understand what it is about. It will help you to develop an idea about the topic. That is why, read the passage slowly at least twice. It will help you understand the theme of the passage. Once the theme of the text is clear, everything is downhill from there. After doing this, you can choose the best possible word out of the given choices.
2) Link the Sentences Together:-
The second thing you should keep in your mind is that it is not a set of individual statements, but a passage with sentences that are connected to each other. So attempt the questions keeping this in mind, otherwise there will be a very high chance of committing some silly mistakes. There will definitely be some logical connection between the sentences. Just try to understand that connection, your chances of selecting the write option will become high.
3) Eliminate Options:-
Well this is the most crucial point. Often we have seen that candidate comes across a situation where he is unable to find the correct option. In such a scenario, first read all the options carefully. Out of these eliminate the choice that is least likely to be correct. This process is called Process of Elimination (POE).You can try this by fitting each option one by one in the sentence. Then check the consistency of these options not only with respect to the given sentence but also in context of the entire passage. Review the options again. In this way you can easily eliminate 2-3 options. There is always a great chance of spotting an answer by eliminating all the doubtful options.
