At C2 level, success depends on more than knowing long words: it requires an (1) .......... (AWARE) of register, collocation and nuance, as well as the ability to spot what part of speech a gap demands.\n\nA common mistake is to focus on meaning alone and ignore grammar. For instance, a sentence may require an adverb to modify a verb, yet many learners supply an adjective, which is immediately (2) .......... (ACCEPT) in exam terms. Another frequent issue is spelling: adding a suffix can trigger subtle changes, and even a minor (3) .......... (ACCURATE) may cost the mark.\n\nThe best preparation is systematic. Build word families, note negative prefixes, and pay attention to how abstract nouns are typically (4) .......... (FORM) from verbs and adjectives. It also helps to read widely, since exposure to high-level texts increases your (5) .......... (FAMILIAR) with less common derivatives.\n\nFinally, remember that exam setters value (6) ..........
