1. (A) attend
    (B) attendant
    (C) attending
    (D) attendance

2. (A) invite

    (D) by

Berhubung banyaknya permintaan mengenai cara mengerjakan soal cloze test, maka berikut ini kami sampaikan cara mengerjakan soal di atas.

Soal no.1
Ketika anda mendapatkan pilihan jawaban seperti pada nomor 1 di atas, maka yang perlu anda lakukan pertama kali adalah menentukan jenis kata untuk masing-masing pilihan.
(A) attend = verb 1 (menghadiri)
(B) attendant = noun (hadirin)
(C) attending = verb (-ing) (menghadiri)
(D) attendance = noun (kehadiran)
Langkah selanjutnya adalah melihat kata/frase di sekitar bagian yang rumpang, dalam hal ini :
... required to____ the meeting...
Kita bisa lihat bahwa sebelum bagian yang rumpang ada kata "to". Kemungkinan pertama, dalam bahasa inggris to merupakan bagian dari "to infinitive" atau to + V1. Kemungkinan kedua, to merupakan preposition (kata depan) yang selalu diikuti noun berupa time or places. Oleh karena nya, soal nomor 1 jawaban yang paling tepat adalah A, dalam hal ini to berfungsi sebagai to infinitive, mengingat di pilihan kata tidak ada noun yang berupa time/place.

Soal no.2
(A)  invite = verb 1 (mengundang)
(B)  invited = verb 2 atau verb 3 (mengundang)
(C) inviting = verb (-ing) (mengundang)
(D) invitation = noun (undangan)
Langkah selanjutnya adalah melihat kata/frase di sekitar bagian yang rumpang, dalam hal ini :
... As usual we have _______ a guest  speaker.
Kita lihat sebelum bagian yang rumpang ada kata "have"
Kemungkinan pertama, "have" sebagai auxiliary + V3
Kemungkinan kedua, "have" sebagai verb + noun
Oleh karenanya kita mempunyai 2 kemungkinan jawaban yang secara grammatikal benar, yaitu B dan D.
Akan tetapi jawaban D secara grammatikal ambigu, karena ketika ada beberapa noun disandingkan, seharusnya menjadi sebagai satu frase yang utuh, tetapi dalam kalimat we have invitation a guest speaker, tidak terbentuk frase yang meaningful.
Oleh karenanya, jawaban untuk soal nomor 2 yaitu B.

Soal no.3
Ketika anda mendapatkan pilihan jawaban seperti ini, anda tidak perlu mencari jenis katanya karena keempat pilihan jawaban mempunyai  jenis kata yang sama, yaitu preposition.
Preposition + noun. Maka kita perlu mengidentifikasi noun yang muncul setelah bagian yang rumpang, dalam hal ini:

The speaker ______ this month's meeting.  Coba anda perhatikan frase tersebut.  Frase tersebut mempunyai inti di meeting. Oleh karenanya kita harus mencari preposition yang tepat untuk kata "meeting".
Ada beberapa pendapat tentang pemilihan preposition, tapi karena meeting merupakan suatu perkumpulan beberapa orang, maka lazim menggunakan at (jawaban C).
