Question: 169
4. In the nineteenth century, those fighting for the abolition of slavery did not always agree with those fighting for women's rights: while some activists ------ each other's goals, others believed victory for one side would spell ------ for the other.
- A. championed … defeat
- B. encouraged … success
- C. rejected … doom
- D. understood … escape
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The answer is A
The two blanks must run in contrasting directions, requiring championed (supported) and defeat as the answer.
It is not possible to do one blank at a time, because you need one blank in order to know the other blank. However, the contrast between while some and others indicates that the blanks must run in contrasting directions. So, you can eliminate choices (B) and (C) because the words run in a similar direction and choice (D) because the words do not relate.
