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:

Her again, 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, E is the answer.



His inclination to succumb to flattery made him ______________to the ______________of people who wished to take advantage of him.

  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, C is the answer.



She was ______________success and eager to create a name for herself.

  1. deprecatory toward
  2. impatient for
  3. querulous about
  4. sated by
  5. impassive to

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A person eager to create a name for herself is obviously looking for success. So, she will not be deprecatory (critical) toward, or querulous (complaining) about, or sated (satisfied) by the impassive (unconcerned) to success. It would be logical to say that she is impatient for success. So, B is the answer.



Since what constitutes a proper diet remains a ______________subject on which few experts agree, additional research is

  1. controversial required
  2. neglected...deplored
  3. popular...unexpected
  4. favored...prohibited
  5. complex...redundant

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A subject on which few experts agree cannot be described by the adjectives neglected, or popular, or favored. So, B, C and D can be ruled out on consideration of the choices for the first missing word. We cannot say that, on a complex subject on whom few experts agree, further research is redundant (meaning superfluous; not needed). So, E is also ruled out. A/ controversial subject is one on which few experts now agree, and therefore further research on it is required. Thus, A completes a meaningful sentence, and is the answer.
