I gave my exam yesterday.

In the reading section the question was:

________ roof

The passage said " overloading of parts of roof area "

What would be the correct answer - 'overloading' or 'overloading of '

I wrote 'overloading of ' since it was two words answer. Is it correct ?

Depends on if a synonym for overloading was used in the question. If it was, the answer would be 'parts of'. If not, then either one looks right and you need to see which one makes most sense. Had something similar happen to me on my test. I went back and forth between two possible answers, including erasing the one I'd written down, then changing it again to the original. Fortunately, my choice was correct.
