Question: 168

3. Although many people have ------ habits of eating healthy and exercising regularly, the appeal of tasty fast food and a comfortable sofa still ------ many others.

  • A. abandoned … appalls
  • B. adopted … lures
  • C. developed … repels
  • D. renounced … tempts

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

The answer is B

The first blank must relate to those who follow healthy habits, while the second blank must relate to those who can't resist the appeal of tasty fast food, thus requiring adopted and lure (tempt) as the answer.

Do one blank at a time. The second blank, which might seem easier, must relate to the appeal of tasty fast food, so you can eliminate choices (A) and (C) if you know those words. The first blank must relate to following healthy habits so eliminate choice (A), as well as choice (D) if you know the word. You may need to guess after eliminating one or two answers.
