Para Completion Concepts

📝 Para Completion in CAT VARC – Mastering the Last Line

By now, you must have solved many RCs and understood the idea of Inference. If not, don’t worry — just know this: Para Completion is nothing but applying inference in a smart way.

The question gives you a paragraph and multiple options. Your task? Predict the missing last line. Sounds like a soothsayer’s job 😅 but it’s pure logic.

🔎 Types of Para Completion Questions

1. Summary-Based → The missing line summarizes the entire passage.

2. Inference-Based → The missing line logically extends the passage, just like an inference.

📘 Rules of Para Completion

• ❌ Do not add any new information.

• ❌ Do not contradict or question the passage.

• ✅ Be diplomatic — rephrase or twist ideas already mentioned.

• ✅ Extend the last line OR conclude the passage, like a summary.

• ❌ Never unfold a new domain of discussion. Stick to the scope of the passage.

🎯 How to Solve Para Completion

1. Read the passage carefully → Spot the core idea.

2. Check the options → Eliminate those that:

   • Bring in new topics

   • Argue against the passage

   • Sound too extreme

3. Pick the option that either:

   • Extends the thought naturally, OR

   • Summarizes the entire passage smoothly.

👉 Think of Para Completion as giving the passage its final touch, not starting a new conversation.

✨ Quick Tip

Always ask yourself: “If I add this sentence at the end, does it flow naturally without breaking the passage?” If yes, that’s your answer.

Para Completion is tricky but highly scorable once you know the rules. With consistent practice, you’ll see it’s not guesswork — it’s logic, diplomacy, and inference combined.
