Overview
In the Reading Flow Chart Completion (With Choices) task, you are given a flow chart that shows a process or sequence, with some steps missing.
Your job is to choose the correct words or phrases from a list of options to complete the chart based on the reading passage.
To do this effectively, start by understanding the flow chart’s structure and reading the title to know what process is being described.
