Key to solving "para-completion" questions on CR:
- Prepare a mind-map.- Follow the chain-of-thoughts.- Eliminate four choices to reach a choice that best completes the complete chain of thoughts.-- Beware: Consider the "complete" of chain of thoughts.--- Not just the "last sentence".
Do not chase "tricks/tips/shortcuts". Chase "concepts"!Do not chase "scores", chase "learning". Scores will follow.

- On SCs, go for the "shortest" choices.- On RCs and CRs, go for the "longest" choices.- On DS, go for "C".
