The dissimilarities are absolutely striking; even though she is __________, she has few friends, and even though she is a __________ stylist, few customers ask for her when booking.
- cute. . .fair
- amiable. . .consummate
- professional. . .haphazard
- nice. . .radical
- magnificent. . .futuristic
Answer(s): B
Explanation:
We're clearly looking for two qualifiers here: one regarding her ability to make friends as an offset to having few of them; two regarding her profession as a stylist and an offset to her having few requesting customers. Remembering the clue phrase "even though" is telling us that the word we're looking for is again, an offset to the conditions that follow that phrase. In the first blank, all choices are possible, although Choice B, "amiable," means easy to get along with, a really good match to the friendship issue. The second blank is the easier to eliminate bad choices and since "consummate" means complete or perfect, it is a good fit to her professional qualifications notwithstanding her lack of requesting customers.
