Even the most insulated and ______________ government has to be concerned today about the popular mind; some systems may be less ______________than others, but at some point all must pay attention.

  1. parochial… vociferous
  2. corrupt...theoretical
  3. arbitrary...sensitive
  4. obscure...reined
  5. vibrant. responsive

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The last phrase in the sentence, "but at some point, all most pay attention" implies that the second missing word must mean 'attentive'. Among the choices for this word, it is only 'sensitive' and 'responsive' which have this meaning. But an insulated (meaning with no touch with the people) government cannot be described as a vibrant one. So, C is the answer.



Explanations given to the patient by the anesthetist prior to surgery often ______________anxiety and ______________the need for analgesics.

  1. intensify...counteract
  2. parallel assume
  3. explore...prepare
  4. relieve...reduce
  5. ignore...preclude

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

If an anesthetist (the physician who administers chloroform) gives some explanations to the patient before the surgery, it will not be with a view to intensify his anxiety, but to relieve his anxiety. If this is so, there will be less need to give him analgesics (meaning 'drugs which produce insensitivity to pain'). So, D is the answer.



The jellyfish's show pulsing action people it in a graceful, seemingly ______________drift, but its tentacles contain poison potent enough to stun a swimming human.

  1. sinister
  2. rhythmic
  3. murky
  4. harmless
  5. patient

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The use of the conjunction 'but' implies a contradiction within the sentence. The second part says that the jellyfish's tentacles contain a poison which can kill a swimming human. So, to justify the use of the conjunction 'but', the first part must imply that the jellyfish looks 'harmless'. So, D is the answer.



The production's slight romantic appeal depends on its two stars, who are ______________to watch oven when they are delivering speeches.

  1. overbearing...innocent
  2. farcical complex
  3. attractive...creative
  4. impossible...dull
  5. pleasant...empty

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

The use of the conjunction 'even when" implies a contrast within the sentence. So, the two missing words must mean the opposites of each other. If the drama's appeal depends on its two stars, it means that they are either 'attractive' to watch or 'pleasant' to watch. But the pair of words in C does not justify the use of the phrase 'even when'. So, E is the answer.
