Cloze Test is primarily meant to test a candidate's knowledge of comprehension with regard to grammar, usage and vocabulary. A cloze test consist of a passage for assessment consisting of a portion of language with certain items, words, or signs removed (cloze text), where the participant is asked to replace the missing language item. The examinees are required to make a choice from multiple alternatives for each word to be filled in the blank, not in a sentence, but in context to the passage. The blanks are numbered which are to be filled in with the most suitable alternative.
In many competitive examinations, the question paper of English encompasses cloze passage/ test questions. In a cloze passage/ test, usually a passage is given with ten or twelve blank spaces. Candidates are required to fill in the blanks out of the given choices. The purpose of the cloze test is to judge the grammatical knowledge, vocabulary power and the common sense of the candidate. The candidate must go through the whole passage before starting to answer the questions.
Sometimes one or two blanks appear somewhat difficult to answer or seem to have more than one Correct answer. The answer of these blanks may have some links with the next sentences, so it is always better to read out the whole passage first. It must well be understood that good knowledge of grammar and good command on vocabulary will be of utmost help in answering such questions.
Cloze passages/test not only judges your grammatical knowledge but also your vocabulary and common sense.
In this case we are considering passages with a lesser number of blanks. When a candidate is confident enough with simple passages, the complex passages will easier to answer.
