How do I handle double-blank and triple-blank Text Completion?
Don't try to solve all blanks at once, and don't just default to starting with the first blank. Start with the blank where it's most clear to you what you need. Sometimes there's no way to fill in one blank without understanding what goes in another, because of the relationship between those blanks — and that's okay. Recognize when blanks depend on each other and work through them together.
The key is to find your foothold: the blank where the contextual clues give you the most to work with, then use that to inform the others.
