Unlike the American worker, who expects to work for several different firms during his or her career, until recently the Japanese worker regarded employment as ____________ commitment.

  1. a lifetime
  2. a significant
  3. a bilateral
  4. an economic
  5. a moral

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The word "Unlike" shows us that the two halves of the sentence will contrast with one another. The idea of a "lifetime" commitment nicely contrasts with the idea of changing jobs several times.



Andre's gift for music seemed to be ____________ ; both his mother and grandfather before him had been famed concert pianists.

  1. simulated
  2. innate
  3. accidental
  4. inexplicable
  5. prodigious

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

If musical talent runs in Andre's family, then it would be logical to consider his gift inborn, inherited, or "innate."



The many obvious lapses in the author's research make it ____________ to accept the ____________ of his conclusions.

  1. easy . . accuracy
  2. impossible . . meaning
  3. attractive . . logic
  4. questionable . . structure
  5. difficult . . validity

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

A simple cause-and-effect relationship is required here; if the research contains "many obvious lapses," then accepting its conclusions would certainly be "difficult."



Her wildlife movies unflinchingly capture the ____________ of the animal kingdom: predators stalking their prey, singling out the weak, young, and very old as easy kills, and the cold-blooded killing which is a necessity of life in the wild.

  1. brutality
  2. romance
  3. color
  4. mystery
  5. grandeur

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

All we need here is a word that summarizes the tone of the second half of the sentence. A word like "violence," "bloodthirstiness," or "brutality" will work.



Although the Internet was originally created to facilitate scientific research and emergency communication, today most people consider it ____________ enterprise, offering services marketed as sources of information and entertainment.

  1. a commercial
  2. a private
  3. an obsolete
  4. an insidious
  5. an institutional

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

If the Internet today offers "services" that are "marketed," then it is clearly a "commercial" (that is, for-profit) enterprise.
