How to score highly on Read and Complete questions
Read and Complete is very similar to Fill in the Blanks. Both questions test your vocabulary. More precisely, they test your vocab knowledge in context.

An easy trick for Read and Complete is to look for reused words. Duolingo likes to use the same words multiple times in Read and Complete questions. You will see that often in the examples below.
