The C1 Advanced (CAE) Use of English part 4 is one part of the exam which students particularly struggle with.
Part 4 of the Use of English paper requires you to write from 3 to 6 words in order to appropriately complete a sentence. You read an example sentence. You are then given a sentence with some information missing and one word which you need to use. Use the word given with your own words to complete the missing information. At the end, your completed sentence should have the same meaning as the example sentence. The word they give you should help you decide which other words you need to write. There are 6 of these sentences to complete in part 4.

Hello Rory,
I’ve complited the requred part as follows: “caused to be”. I omitted the “us”, and also omitted the word “get”, because I still saw the sentence making sense.
What do you think? Thanks for your time in advance!
If you’re talking about
“The signposts were confusing, which ____________________________________________________ lost” – you need the ‘us’. You could replace ‘get’ with ‘be’, but the most common expression is ‘to get lost’.
