The murderous capriciousness of Nero infused the Roman Empire with such pervasive ____________that not even the most citizens felt safe.

  1. distaste; vulgar
  2. paranoia; suspicious
  3. enthusiasm; apathetic
  4. unease; oppressed
  5. panic distinguished

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

The phrase “not even” implies a contrast within the sentence.
Among the choices for the second missing word, it is only “distinguished” that will bring out this contrast. Its pair word “panic” (meaning great fear), could well have been the result of Nero's murderous capriciousness. So, “panic; distinguished” is the answer.

  1. immune; predilection
  2. prejudicial; intentions
  3. susceptible; cajolery
  4. resistant; blandishments
  5. amenable; rejection

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

If a person was inclined to succumb to flattery, people who wished to take advantage of him would naturally flatter him.
Among the choices for the second missing word, it is only “cajolery” and “blandishments” which mean flattery. But the pair word of “blandishments; namely resistant,” would result in a self-contradictory sentence. So, “susceptible; cajolery” is the answer.
