Question: 167
2. Like many ------ cities, Atlanta struggles with sprawl and the ------ traffic such development creates.
- A. booming … snarling
- B. growing … smooth
- C. minor … tangled
- D. shrinking … transparent
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The answer is A
The first blank must relate to sprawl and development, while the second blank must relate to struggle with traffic, thus requiring booming (rising quickly) and snarling (difficult) as the answer.
Do one blank at a time. The second blank, which might seem easier, must relate to a struggle with traffic, so you can eliminate choices (B) and (D). Even if you don't know the word sprawl, the fact that there is traffic and development suggests that the problem is large. So, eliminate choice (C).
