Students who interpret the honor strictly find it ______________that some bright students 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 held that no student should attempt to answer the take 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, C 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 are devoid of matter'. A hypothesis can be either confirmed or 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;' also fits in well to give a cogent meaning to the sentence. So, C 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. amende….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 ideas 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 understand 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 'welcomed'. The pair word of 'welcomed' is 'observe', and this is not appropriate for the second blank



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 C.
