This exercise is, on a micro level, comparable to cloze procedure, on a macro level. In a cloze test, every n-th word is deleted from a passage and a testee is required to guess and supply the correct missing word. The method is useful to determine the relative "readbility" of a text, much like the old Flesch Readbility Index of many moons ago.



I think that's the fir-st time I've ever seen nth hyphenated.
