For example, if the sentence said:
- 'Sadly, the pot-PL on my aunt's windowsill died during the hot weather' ...
... the missing 3 letters would be more likely to be ANT (making 'PLANT') than anything else on offer such as PIG.
Have a go at this quiz to get familiar with this type of question. Good luck!
