Students who interpret the honor strictly find it ____________that some bright student’s complete take-home examinations for less proficient friends.

  1. remedial
  2. irreproachable
  3. unconscionable
  4. irrelevant
  5. magnanimous

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The sentence seeks to contrast the attitudes of two sets of students – those who interpret the honor code strictly, and those who answer the take-home examinations on behalf of other, less intelligent students. Obviously, those students who interpret the honor code strictly would hold that no student should attempt to answer the lake home examination for another student. They would, therefore, not consider the practice a brighter student answering the home examination of a less bright student as “remedial”, or “irreproachable”, or “irrelevant”, or “magnanimous”.

They would certainly consider this practice as “unconscionable” (meaning against one's conscience). So, “unconscionable” is the answer.



The discovery that interstellar ____________ exist ____________the scientific hypothesis that the expanses between the stars are devoid of matter.

  1. galaxies; revived
  2. constellations; prompted
  3. molecules; demolished
  4. vastness; challenged
  5. vacuums; altered

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The word “interstellar” means the space between stars.
The sentence speaks of “the scientific hypothesis that the expanses between the stars ate devoid of matter.” A hypothesis can be either confirmed of falsified by any new discovery. So, among the choices for the second missing word, “demolished” is the only word, which has one of these meanings.
The theory that the expanses between the stars are devoid of matter would certainly have been demolished, if it had been discovered that there are molecules in interstellar space. Thus, the word “molecules” is well to give a cogent meaning to the sentence. So, “molecules; demolished” is the answer.



Although the colonist resented the new British laws, they ____________them as long as England did not
____________ them too strenuously.

  1. rejected; define
  2. amended; follow
  3. tolerated; enforce
  4. defied; interpret
  5. welcomed; observe

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The use of the conjunction “although” indicates that there is a contradiction in means between the first and the second parts in the sentence. If the colonists resented (meaning hated) the new British laws, they must normally be expected to have protested against it. But because of the use of the conjunction “although” in the sentence, we must underhand that their action was the opposite of protested.
The only choices for the first missing word which are the opposite of protested are “tolerated” and “well-fed.” The pair word of “welcomed; observe” is not appropriate for the second mark because it was not British, but the colonists, who were expected to observe the new laws, while the role of the British, as the superior power, was to enforce the new laws.
If the British did not enforce the new laws too strenuously, the colonists would not have minded tolerating them. So, it is “tolerated; enforce” the answer.



As the best-informed and most dispassionate of the panel members, Dr. Camila Torrez was the most – of those offering views on fission technology.

  1. unsuspecting
  2. preposterous
  3. persuasive
  4. confusing
  5. temperamental

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The use of conjunction “as” (meaning because), shows that the second part of the sentence must logically follow from the first part. The missing word must therefore describe a person who is best-informed and most dispassionate. Among the choices, it is only the word “persuasive” that can describe such a person. So, the answer is “persuasive”.



He was ____________in his vindictiveness, often feigning a disarming camaraderie while ____________his opportunity for revenge.

  1. impulsive; gauging
  2. harmless; preparing
  3. resolute; forgetting
  4. brazen; dreading
  5. devious; awaiting

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

The parson described is said to the “often a disarming camaraderie”, meaning that his friendship was not genuine, but was a pretended one. The use of the word “revenge” indicates that the person in whom he was pretending friendship was one who had harmed him earlier. So, the sentence must mean that the person described in the sentence was intent upon taking revenge for this earlier harm. He must therefore be looking for an opportunity to lake revenge, even while pretending friendship.
So, among the choices for the second missing word, only “preparing” and “awaiting” are appropriate. Such a clever person will obviously not be “harmless” in his vindictiveness. So, “harmless; preparing” is not a suitable choice for the first missing word.
“Devious” (meaning cunning) is what describes such a person perfectly, and fits in well in the first blank. So, “devious; awaiting” is the answer.
