The two types of questions that he should practice to score well in the Critical Reading section of the SAT are B. sentence completion and D. passage based reading.

This section is mainly focused on testing the students' vocabulary, which is the aim of Sentence Completion questions, and it is also intended to test their reasoning and reading comprehension skills by means of the Reading Comprehension passages followed by multiple-choice questions.

The Sentence Completion questions are all multiple choice with five possible choices and they are arranged in order of difficulty. On the other hand, Reading Comprehension passages are not arranged in order of difficulty but many questions aim to ask about the main idea or overall point that a specific passage is trying to make.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
