Question: 127

7. The worst team lost because it had many players who though not completely _____ were also not really _____.

  • A. qualified ... agile
  • B. clumsy ... incompetent
  • C. inept ... proficient
  • D. ungraceful ... amateurish

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

The correct answer is (C). The qualities attributed to the players on the worst team must be opposites for comparison and adjectives for parallelism within the sentence. INEPT, which means awkward, and PROFICIENT, which means skilled, make up the only choice that meets both requirements.
