Question: 130

10. Spores are a form of life that remain _____ until environmental conditions exist in which they can become _____.

  • A. inactive ... vibrant
  • B. hidden ... dangerous
  • C. suppressed ... visible
  • D. controlled ... rampant

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

The correct answer is (A). The sense of the sentence calls for two words that are opposites and that can both be applied to life forms. Spores are the tiny particles in certain plants that act as seeds in the production of new plants. These spores remain dormant or INACTIVE until the proper conditions exist to render them vigorous or VIBRANT, thus creating a new generation of plants.
