A tricky and troublesome concept on sentence completions is ellipsis when it comes to comparisons. Sometimes we drop words and sometimes we don't. How do we know when to drop a word or leave it in the comparison?

In this week's video, I go over the basics of omissions, some common phrases in which we tend to drop words, and finally, how ambiguity can creep in when we drop words. All relevant to sentence completion domination!
