How can we avoid story telling

any tips to avoid story telling while solving the blank text completion questions

I suggest not seeing the choices in the first place and understand the sentences fully before attempting to solve it. Also, after answering the question, ask yourself what is the evidence from the sentences that lead to your answer.
