Question: 177
12. Although over-the-counter pain medications such as Advil, Excedrin, and Tylenol cannot cure the underlying illness, they can ------ the symptoms and provide some ------.
- A. alleviate … relief
- B. eradicate … diagnosis
- C. heighten … distraction
- D. intensify … peace
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The answer is A
Although cannot cure requires that the first blank mean reduce and the second blank mean help, requiring alleviate (lessen) and relief as the answer.
Do one blank at a time. The first blank, which might seem easier, must mean reduce because of although cannot cure, so you can eliminate choices (C) and (D), as well as choice (B) if you know the word. The second blank must mean help for the same reason, so eliminate choice (B).
