Question: 173

8. Facial expressions such as rolled eyes and a begrudging vocal tone will ------ the sincerity of an apology.

  • A. balance
  • B. bolster
  • C. exaggerate
  • D. undermine

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The answer is D

Rolled eyes in contrast to sincerity requires undermine (weaken) as an answer.

Even if you do not know the word undermine, you can eliminate choices (A) and (C), as well as choice (B) if you know the word, because the correct answer must reflect how the rolled eyes show a lack of sincerity. You may need to guess if you can eliminate only two wrong answers.
