Question: 170

5. New research has indicated that children's food inclinations develop in the womb: when pregnant women ------ lots of leafy green vegetables, their babies will show a ------ for leafy green vegetables throughout childhood.

• A. consume … preference
• B. cook … dismissal
• C. ingest … hatred
• D. avoid … taste

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

The answer is A

The two blanks must run in a similar direction, requiring consume and preference 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 statement that preferences develop in the womb indicates that the blanks must run in a similar direction. So, you can eliminate choices (C) and (D) because the words run in contrasting directions and choice (B) because the words do not relate.
