The Saboteur got into the arcade with a black marker. Put the words back.

Every case is one sentence with one word inked out. No timer, no lives,
no wrong-answer buzzer — just the method, the same one from your book:
read on · job first · clues second · swap-test the guess.
The method (you already know it)
1 · Read on. Don't stall at the ink — finish the sentence. 2 · Job check. What part of speech is the missing word doing? 3 · Clue scan. Which of the four clue types is nearby? Definition (explained right there),
restatement (said again, plainly), contrast (its opposite, flagged by but / unlike / although —
careful, contrast flips the direction), example (examples show what it covers). 4 · Guess & test. Swap your word in. If the sentence runs, case closed.
Wrong call? Nothing breaks — the sentence just stalls and you try another. The Saboteur only wins if you stop looking.
