Hi Brent,
Some of text completion lesson video was overlap with the Sentence equivalence?
There are many similarities
There are many similarities between Text Completion questions and Sentence Equivalence questions.

Conversely, for Sentence Equivalence questions, we're looking for TWO words for each blank.
Cheers,
Brent

This explains INTERROGATE, but not other words.
Cheers,
Brent

I applied this to derogate, de=off; propose a law off, to belittle it, as of putting it off.
