The descriptions in these essays range widely, from the fanciful to the matter-of-fact, from the ____________to the fatuous, from the objective to the ____________.

  1. witty; realistic
  2. meager; descriptive
  3. insightful; impressionistic
  4. inane; commonplace
  5. articulate; empirical

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

One example of the wide range of description in the essays referred to in the given sentence is mentioned as “from the fanciful to the matter-of-fact.” Since these are exact opposites. The other two phrases should also represent exact opposites so, the first missing must be the opposite of the word “fatuous” (meaning silly), and the second missing word must be the opposite of the word “objective” (meaning unemotional).
Among the given choices, it is the pair “insightful; impressionistic” which are the opposites of “fatuous” and “subjective” respectively. So, “insightful; impressionistic” is the answer.



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.
