TOEIC Text Completion Questions and Answers 3

Question 1

The workshop will be ______ by Dr. Elena Reyes, a leading expert in organizational behavior.

Accepted Answer

conducted

Answer

The passive voice structure "will be conducted" requires the past participle. The workshop is the subject receiving the action, not performing it.

Question 2

The proposal was rejected ______ it failed to address the environmental impact requirements.

Accepted Answer

because

Answer

"Because" introduces the causal reason for the rejection. The other conjunctions introduce contrast, frequency, or addition — none of which fit the cause-effect relationship here.

Question 3

We regret to inform you that the shipment has been ______ due to adverse weather conditions.

Accepted Answer

delayed

Answer

"Has been delayed" uses the present perfect passive, requiring the past participle "delayed." The base form, present participle, and plural noun are all grammatically incorrect here.

Question 4

Employees are encouraged to submit ______ feedback through the anonymous survey portal.

Accepted Answer

honest

Answer

"Honest" is the adjective that modifies the noun "feedback." An adverb (honestly) would modify a verb, and "honestness" is not a standard English word.

Question 5

The revised budget has been approved ______ the executive committee following a thorough review.

Accepted Answer

by

Answer

In passive constructions, the agent (the entity performing the action) is introduced by the preposition "by."
