Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

missing part

Solution :

The correct answer is missing part.


Explanation:

The term 'Cloze' originates from the word 'closure' in Gestalt psychology, which refers to the human tendency to fill in gaps or complete an incomplete pattern to perceive it as a whole.


In educational and language testing contexts, a cloze test (or cloze deletion test) is an exercise, test, or assessment where a portion of text is provided with certain words removed or omitted. The test taker is asked to supply the missing part (the missing words) to complete the sentence or passage correctly.


Therefore, 'cloze' essentially refers to identifying or filling in the missing part of a text.
