Although the colonist resented the new British laws, they ______________them as long as England did not ______________them too strenuously.
Answer(s): C
The use of the conjunction 'although' indicates that there is a contradiction in ideas between the first and the second parts in the sentence, if the colonists resented (meaning hated) the new British laws, they must normally be expected to have protested against it. But because of the use of the conjunction 'although' in the sentence, we must understand that their action was the opposite of 'protested', The only choices for the first missing word which are the opposite of 'protested' are 'tolerated' and 'welcomed'. The pair word of 'welcomed' is 'observe', and this is not appropriate for the second blank
As the best-informed and most dispassionate of the panel members, Dr. Camila Torrez was the most — of those offering views on fission technology.
The use of conjunction 'as', (meaning 'because'), shows that the second part of the sentence must logically follow from the first part. The missing word must therefore describe a person who is 'best-informed' and 'most dispassionate'. Among the choices, it is only the word 'persuasive' that can describe such a person. So, the answer is C.
He was ______________in his vindictiveness, often feigning a disarming camaraderie while ______________his opportunity for revenge.
Answer(s): E
The person described is said to be 'often feigning a disarming camaraderie', meaning that his friendship was not genuine, but was a pretended one. the use of the word 'revenge' indicates that the person to whom he was pretending friendship was one who had harmed him earlier. So. the sentence must mean that the person described in the sentence was intent upon taking revenge for this earlier harm. He must therefore be looking for an opportunity to take revenge, even while pretending friendship. So. among the choices for the second missing word, only 'preparing' and 'awaiting' are appropriate. Such a clever person will obviously not be 'harmless' in his vindictiveness. So, B is not a suitable choice for the first missing word. 'Devious', meaning 'cunning' is what describes such a person perfectly, and fits in well in the first blank. So, E is the answer.
Those who seek the advice of scientists in this matter should recognize that, because the knowledge available is ______________. The reliability of the advice cannot be
Answer(s): D
The words 'documented', explained' and 'understood' are not suitable adjectives for the noun 'reliability', and can straight-away be discarded for that reason. Since it is logical to say that, if the available knowledge is inadequate, the reliability of the advice based on such limited knowledge cannot be guaranteed, D is a suitable choice. The pair of words in E do not result in a logical sentence, and is wrong.
The ______________of modernist architecture ______________the natural human desire to celebrate the decorate, to take delight in ornament.
The information that the second part of the sentence imparts is that there exists a natural human desire to celebrate and decorate, and to take delight in ornament. If modern architecture is elaborate', it would be fulfilling, and not neglecting, this desire. So, A is wrong. If mode architecture is 'austere', it would be neglecting this natural desire, and not recognizing it. So. B is wrong. If modern architecture 'embellishes'. It would again be fulfilling this natural desire, and not be undermining it. So, C is also wrong. If modern architecture is 'severe' (meaning austere'), it would be opposing this natural desire. So, D leads to a logical sentence, and is the answer. Since there can be no uniformity about decoration or ornamentation, E does not result in a logical sentence.
