SAT-CRITICAL READING PDF 271 Questions

The ______ behavior of the demonstrators became even more apparent when they all chained themselves together when the authorities came on scene.

  1. indolent
  2. spurious
  3. individual
  4. recalcitrant
  5. cohesive

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Choices A and B indicate lazy or not genuine, respectively, which is not the case, or they wouldn't be there demonstrating. Choice C grammatically fits, but the individuality of the act becomes lost when chaining them together. Choice E, "cohesive, " or sticking together certainly fits and is correct; however, this is not the best choice. Choice D, "recalcitrant, " is the best choice as it includes "stubbornly resisting authority, " which further matches the action following the arrival of the authorities.



The ______ dress of the performers was considered ______ by the censors.

  1. matching ... unfashionable
  2. ostentatious ... repugnant
  3. overly revealing ... acceptable
  4. uniform ... haughty
  5. color of ... errant

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

We know that censors typically judge with a view to suppress so we're probably looking for two negatives in this case. Starting with that proposition, Choices B and C are the only possibilities. The second negative eliminates Choice C, making Choice B correct.



It is absolutely ______ that the individual assigned to defuse a bomb be extremely ______.

  1. essential ... mature
  2. alright ... nervous
  3. necessary ... excited
  4. warranted ... tired
  5. critical ... dexterous

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

Here again, the strategy is to divide and conquer. Only Choices A, C, and E qualify as being suited with absolutely. This leaves the second blank. Now the qualities for someone to defuse a bomb are almost a given. Choice A, "mature, " is not something good as it is tantamount to feeble--much shaking of the hands is not a great characteristic to have as a bomb technician. Choice C, "excited, " is just as bad as too mature and shaking. This only leave Choice E, "dexterous, " or someone with skillful hands.



Had it not been for his ______ prowess, Muhammad Ali, formerly known as Cassius Clay, Would not be considered one of the worlds' greatest fighters of all time.

  1. elocutionary
  2. prestidigitation
  3. ponderous
  4. poetical
  5. pugilistic

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

Although Ali was certainly known for his elocution, seeming prestidigitation in the ring, and his poetical ravings, he would not have reached the heights of boxing success had it not been for his "pugilistic" or boxing prowess, Choice E.



Were I indeed ______, I likely would not still be teaching, for I would have long ago played the winning lottery numbers and be traveling the world sending postcards to the classroom.

  1. fortuitous
  2. clairvoyant
  3. prescient
  4. philanthropic
  5. perspicacious

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Choice B, "clairvoyant, " seems like a shoe-in for this questions, but a clairvoyant only has greater powers of perception, not foreknowledge. Choice C, "prescient, " incorporates the needed ability to know events in advance of the occurrence to properly pick winning numbers in a lottery.

in question 272 the right answer states that an autonomous acces point is "configured and managed by the wlc" but this is not what i have learned in my ccna course. is this a mistake? i understand that lightweight aps are managed by wlc while autonomous work as standalones on the wlan.
