What is Sentence Equivalence on the GRE?

Sentence Equivalence gives you a single sentence with one blank and six answer choices. You pick the two words that both complete the sentence in a way that produces sentences with the same overall meaning. You must select both correct answers to get credit. There's no partial credit for picking just one.
