One of the tests in the pre-selection phase of the EU exams (or for specialists, it may be required in the Assessment Centre itself). Using a short paragraph of text on virtually any topic, candidates are required to choose from 4 or 5 answer options the one that fully matches the statements in the original text.
There is always only one correct answer because other options may contain insufficient information or false statements. Since 2011 EPSO has requested candidates to sit the verbal reasoning tests in their Language 1.
