Megan does not eat red meat, instead deriving protein from poultry and seafood.Given her derision for red meat, which of the following dishes would not be an acceptable meal for Megan?
Answer(s): D
It is ironic and somehow tragic that good people are often dull while evil people can be endlessly.
The word “ironic” signifies a contradiction of ideas within the sentence, and the conjunction “while” indicates that the characteristics of the good people and the evil people are being contrasted. Therefore, if the good people are often dull, the evil people must be having a characteristic which is the opposite of being dull.Among the given choices, it is only the word fascinating that is opposite in meaning to the world dull. So, “fascinating” is the answer.
Because most of them lack recreational facilities, high rise apartments have been criticized in recent years as ____________for families with children.
Answer(s): A
The use of conjunction because in the beginning of the sentence shows that there is no contradiction within the sentence but, on the contrary, the second part of the sentence follows logically from the first part.If high rise holdings are “important”, “inevitable” or “appropriate” for families with children, they cannot be “criticized” for that reason. So the choice is only between “unsuitable” and “degrading”.The lack of recreational facilities in most high-rise holdings cannot lead to a conclusion that at high-rise bumming are “degrading” for families with children. The logical statement can be that such buildings are “unsuitable” for families with children. So, “unsuitable” is the best choice.
Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, which graphically exposed the ____________of the indiscriminate use of pesticides, is widely credited with having ____________the modern environmental movement.
Answer(s): E
The word “exposed”, and the phrase “indiscriminate use of pesticides”, imply that the first missing word must be one which stands for something bad that is associated with the use of pesticides. So, the choices “advantages” and “benefits” can be ruled out first.Since the phrase “deaths of the indiscriminate use of pesticides” does not make sense, the choice “deaths” can also be ruled out leaving “hazards” (meaning risks) and “dangers” as the only possible choices for the first missing word.If the pair “hazards; defused” is chosen, the sentence would mean that the exposure of the hazards of using pesticides defused for weakened the modern environmental movement, which is illogical.The pair “dangers; inspired” completes a cogent and logical sentence.
