The verbal reasoning is further divided into three question types: Reading Comprehension (RC), Text Completion (TC) and Sentence Equivalence (SE).
In a Sentence Equivalence question, you will be given a text 1-3 lines long, and there will be one blank. There will be six answer choices and you must select two options among the six answer choices to form a meaningful and coherent sentence. The two answer choices you choose must be similar in meaning. Your skill lies in understanding the sentence with one important word missing; you must gauge what the missing word can be based on the partial information presented in the sentence.
You can expect about 8-9 sentence equivalence texts in both the Verbal Sections. You will not be given credit for partially correct answer i.e. if you choose one option which is correct and the second option you choose is incorrect, then you will not get credit for that question. You must choose both the correct options to form a sentence similar in meaning to get credit for a question.
A typical sentence equivalence question looks like this:

A) orthodox
