Complete the Word challenges you to find the missing word!
English abounds with three-letter animal names, and each of the sentences in these 11-plus verbal reasoning questions contains a word from which such a creature is missing. Your challenge is to pick which is the correct missing creature, each time!
For example, if the sentence said:

Have a go at this quiz to get familiar with this type of question. Good luck!

The technical term is litHOGraphy (you may have recognised the '-graph/y' element from other kinds of image-making, such as photography - 'light-writing'). There's a pig (hog) in there, much as there are rats and ants inside several other names of activities and things!
