In some of the poorest neighborhoods of New York City, community gardens are springing up as ______ the filth and desolation of their urban surroundings.
Answer(s): C
C).Only "reaction" makes sense as a description of the relationship between a garden and surroundings that are full of "filth and desolation."
The neighborhood group's rendering of the proposed office complex ______ the ______ of the project: as they appeared on the drawing, the proposed office buildings appeared to dwarf the rest of the downtown area.
The second half of the sentence shows that "vastness" is the dominant quality of the proposed office complex.
Twentieth-century Japan faced the question of how to ______ the best of modern civilization without losing the benefits of Japan's ______ way of life.
The sentence describes something that twentieth-century Japan wanted to do; therefore, it must be referring to a desirable combination of the best of the old and the new. Choice C. makes sense because it refers to "assimilating, " that is, absorbing, what is good in modern life while retaining what is "traditional." A negative word like "outmoded, " choice B, wouldn't fit this context.
The proposal to forbid the use of indoor furniture on front porches has divided the town along ______ lines: the affluent feel the old couches are eyesores, while those who cannot afford new outdoor furniture are ______ about what they feel is an attempt to restrict their lifestyle.
Answer(s): E
Because the second half of the sentence contrasts "the affluent" with "those who cannot afford new outdoor furniture, " we can see that the first blank should be filled with a word referring to class or economic differences. This narrows the possibilities to choices C. and (E). Choice C. doesn't work because an attempt to restrict someone's lifestyle wouldn't logically make them feel "pleased."
In his politics, Aristotle characterizes Plato's support of collectivism as ______ and ______ the unity of the city; not only would it be difficult to institute and enforce, but the absence of private property would lead to bickering among the citizens.
The two words in this answer choice nicely paraphrase the two points made later in the sentence:"impractical" = "difficult to institute, " and "detrimental to . . . unity" ="lead[ing] to bickering"
