It seems America has not lacked for presidents who as a result of their own ______ have performed acts that most considered insensitive, corrupt, and immoral.

  1. grandiloquence
  2. fortitude
  3. effluvia
  4. demagoguery
  5. hubris

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

Although many presidents are guilty of Choice A, "grandiloquence" or pompous speaking, and Choice D, "demagoguery" or politically appealing to the emotions or prejudice of a people, these acts don't typically qualify someone to perform the type acts represented. However, as pride goeth before a fall, Choice E, "hubris" or excessive pride, certainly sets one up for this type failure.



It probably wasn't the singular ______ remark, but the ______ effect of hearing the same stories every day forced her to resign what had been a very lucrative position.

  1. off-colored. . .genuine
  2. errant. . .overall
  3. defamatory. . .cumulative
  4. encouraging. . .negative
  5. negative. . .monotonous

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Any time we speak of repetition, an adding up or cumulative effect is present. As Choice C qualifies exactingly on the second word choice, we need qualify only the first blank. "Defamatory" or injurious to the reputation makes it a certain winner.



Living in a constant state of ______ is understandable given the ______ of pronouncing the CEO's name incorrectly twice during his introduction.

  1. friction. . .fact
  2. prohibition. . . intimation
  3. fear. . .irreverence
  4. consternation. . .debacle
  5. nihilism. . .onus

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Alright, we need to look for something that pronouncing the CEO's name incorrectly might cause and what that error might be called (other than suicidal). Choice D, "consternation" or an intense state of fear, certainly trumps pure "fear" as in Choice C. And, most certainly, mispronouncing the CEO's name is certainly a "debacle, " disaster, or fiasco.



The supervisor was absolutely ______ on the issue of wearing a tie and coat in the office; I mean, she was absolutely ______.

  1. obdurate. . .implacable
  2. persistent. . .moved
  3. passionate. . .vehement
  4. malleable. . .fixated
  5. mawkish. . .impassioned

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

We need two words that are synonymous. Choices A and C are the only two real qualifiers. Choice C, "passionate, " doesn't tell us whether she was in favor of or against the wearing of a tie and coat that would be almost incongruent with "absolutely" feeling that way. . . unless you worked in a casual garment business. Choice A, "obdurate" or stubbornly resistant and "implacable" or not capable of being appeased or changed, makes it the best choice.



The drill instructor at the Marine Corps Recruiting Depot was quick to correct the ______ recruit when he was referred to as "dude."

  1. rascal
  2. imperious
  3. impudent
  4. gregarious
  5. loquacious

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

We're looking for a word that defines the recruit who misspoke to the drill instructor. Although I can think of several, let's look only at the given possibilities. Choice D, "gregarious" or social or companionable, might describe the nature of the individual, it doesn't match with the specific act. Choice E, "loquacious" or very talkative is a given, but again, lends nothing to this egregious act. Choice C, "impudent" or insolent or contemptuously rude better fits the occasion and presents the best answer.
