في هذا النوع من المهام تقرأ نصًّا قصيرًا من بيئة العمل، مثل رسالة بريد إلكتروني أو مذكرة أو إعلان، فيه عدة فراغات مرقّمة. في معظم الفراغات تختار كلمة أو عبارة. وفي فراغ واحد في كل نص تختار جملة كاملة. وللاختيار الصحيح تحتاج غالبًا إلى فهم النص حول الفراغ، لا الجملة التي فيها الفراغ فقط. فمثلًا قد يعتمد زمن الفعل الصحيح على تاريخ ذُكر سابقًا في النص.
