Harrying the foe with artillery fire and ______________them with fire ships, the English forced the Spanish to ______________ their invasion attempt.
Answer(s): A
The sentence obviously describes a war between the British and the Spanish, which was started by an attempt of the Spanish to invade Britain. If, in that attempt, the Spanish were harried (meaning harassed) by the British with artillery fire, what would be Spanish have been forced to do with their invasion attempt? 'Abandon' is the best among the given choices for the second missing word. Its pair-word 'dispersing' is also equally appropriate for the first missing blank. So, A is the answer
Fortunately, Ms. Mason has the unusual ability to transform a tedious legal contention into an ______________account.
Answer(s): D
The use of the word 'fortunately' shows that the unusual ability of Ms. Mason is a desirable one. So, the result of the transformation of the tedious legal contention must have been something more desirable. Among the choices, it is only the word 'absorbing' that represents a desirable quality. So, D is the answer.
The descriptions in these essays range widely, from the fanciful to the matter-of-fact, from the ______________to the fatuous, from the objective to the
Answer(s): C
One example of the wide range of description in the essays referred to in the given sentence is mentioned as 'from the fanciful to the matter-of-fact'. Since these are exact opposites, the other two phrases should also represent exact opposites. So, the first missing must be the opposite of the word fatuous' (meaning 'silly'), and the second missing word must be the opposite of the word 'objective' (meaning 'unemotional'). Among the given choices, it is the pair 'insightful/ and 'impressionistic' which are the opposites of 'fatuous' and 'subjective' respectively. So, C is the answer.
Students who interpret the honor strictly find it ______________that some bright students complete take-home examinations for less proficient friends.
The sentence seeks to contrast the attitudes of two sets of students-those who interpret the honor code strictly, and those who answer the take-home examinations on behalf of other, less intelligent students. Obviously, those students who interpret the honor code strictly would held that no student should attempt to answer the take home examination for another student. They would, therefore, not consider the practice a brighter student answering the home examination of a less bright student as 'remedial', or 'irreproachable', or 'irrelevant', or 'magnanimous'. They would certainly consider this practice as 'unconscionable (meaning against one's conscience'). So, C is the answer.
The discovery that interstellar ______________ exist ______________the scientific hypothesis that the expanses between the stars are devoid of matter.
(The word 'interstellar' means 'the space between stars'.) The sentence speaks of 'the scientific hypothesis that the expanses between the stars are devoid of matter'. A hypothesis can be either confirmed or falsified by any new discovery. So, among the choices for the second missing word, 'demolished' is the only word, which has one of these meanings. The theory that the expanses between the stars are devoid of matter would certainly have been demolished, if it had been discovered that there are molecules in interstellar space. Thus, the word 'molecules;' also fits in well to give a cogent meaning to the sentence. So, C is the answer.
