Mixed English Review
Practice different question types together
What to know
- recognizing the question type
- choosing the right method
- reviewing answers after the set
A mixed set checks whether you can choose the right approach without a lesson heading to guide you.
The core rule
Read what each question asks, choose a method, and finish all six before checking the answers.
This set mixes questions from the first six English lessons. One may ask for a similar meaning; the next may ask for an opposite or a group. Read each question carefully. The explanations appear after you submit all six, so you can try each one on your own.
Worked examples
Example 1: easy
Classify a synonym item before defining the word.
- Notice that the question asks for a synonym, or similar meaning.
- Define the word, choose the closest meaning, and move to the next question.
Identify the question type before solving it.
Example 2: medium
Switch from an opposite-meaning question to a shared-group question.
- After an opposite-meaning question, read the next instruction carefully.
- If it asks for a shared group, use grouping instead of looking for another opposite.
A mixed set needs a fresh check of what each question asks.
Example 3: hard
Complete all six mixed questions before checking the explanations.
- Answer one question from each of the first six English lessons.
- Submit all six, then read the explanations for any mistakes.
Finishing the whole set first prevents one word explanation from hinting at the next answer.
Common mistakes
Every question in a set uses the same method.
Check each question. A word-meaning question and an odd-one-out question need different approaches.
Put it into practice
Use guided explanations, check your answers, and try a new variation.
