Example Question #8 : Logic Based Sentence Completions
After deciding the time, date, and location of the meeting, I was tired of _______________ all the decisions.
writing
doing
making
taking
making
The verb "make" is used when speaking about decisions. "Take" means to accept or receive. "Do" is used with non-specific activities. "Writing" means to put something on paper. Since this question talks about the decisions made, "make" is the only correct answer.
Example Question #9 : Logic Based Sentence Completions
I had a long weekend. I don't plan to _____________ anything this weekend.
eat

Since the sentence speaks of any activity and is not specific, the only correct answer is "do." "Do" is used when speaking about non-specific activities.
Example Question #121 : Toeic
I wanted to go to the movies with my friends, _________________ I couldn't afford it.
None of these
and
so
but
but
But is correct because it is used to state contradictions. So means "in a way that is stated or suggested." And is used when joining groups of words. But is the correct answer in this sentence because the sentence talks about how the speaker wants to go with friends but there is a contradiction because the speaker can not afford to go to the movies.
Example Question #1 : Context Based Completions
We regret to inform you that, after only a single day of employment, Paul Williamsonbergfriend has been _________________ his position with the company.
promoted to
re-hired to
given a number of options within
terminated from
terminated from
The best answer here both correctly uses the idiomatic construction "terminated from" (not "to" or "for"), while aligning with the tone of the sentence. Since the speaker "regrets to inform" about the news, we know that the news is bad.
Example Question #122 : Toeic
All of the packages _______________ shipped out successfully, so our clients will receive them tomorrow.
have not been
have been
was not
was
have been
"Have been" is correct because the fact that the clients will receive the packages tomorrow implies that the packages were shipped successfully. Furthermore, "have been" is grammatically correct with the subject (the packages).
Example Question #123 : Toeic
Fortunately, over the past 12 months, the popularity of our product has __________ steadily.
vanished
decreased
risen
fallen
risen
"Risen" is the correct choice, because the sentence says that the events are fortunate, which means that they are good. In this case, the only good outcome is for the popularity of the product to rise.
Example Question #124 : Toeic
Our goal is to come up with a new advertising campaign that will help _________ some of the damage done by the lawsuit. Hopefully it will help our product to regain popularity.
counteract
amplify
increase
encourage
counteract
If the lawsuit did damage to the product's popularity, and the goal of the new advertising campaign is to increase the product's popularity again, the lawsuit aims to "counteract" the damage done by the lawsuit.
Example Question #125 : Toeic
The seminars that our employees are required to attend present the newest advances in our field. We require attendance because we like our employees to stay ____________ the latest ideas.
on top to
ignorant of
up to date on
opposed to
up to date on
Employees are required to attend these seminars because the company wants them to know about the latest ideas. In other words, the company wants them to stay "up to date on" the latest ideas.
"On top to" is almost correct. The phrase "on top of" would be correct in this sentence, but because "on top to" is not the proper phrase, the only correct answer is "up to date on."
Example Question #126 : Toeic
Many companies discourage working from home; ________, we encourage it if you feel it will make you more productive.
however
therefore
unfortunately
also
however
"However" is the missing word that links the two parts of the sentence. It is correct because the idea of the first clause (most companies discourage working from home) is the opposite of the idea of the second clause (we encourage it if you feel it will make you more productive). In other words, "however" implies that even though most companies discourage working from home, this company still encourages it.
