Question: 178
13. Like many other movies ------ from popular novels, the blockbuster received mixed reviews from loyal fans of the book; some fans loved the film while others ------ it.
- A. adapted … panned
- B. appropriated … lauded
- C. derived … trumpeted
- D. deviated … rejected
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The answer is A
The first blank must mean taken (from popular novels), while the second blank must mean hated (the opposite of loved), requiring derived (adapted from) and trumpeted (cheered) as the answer.
Do one blank at a time. The second blank, which might seem easier, must mean the opposite of loved, so eliminate choices (C) and (D), as well as choice (B) if you know the word. The first blank must mean taken (from popular novels), so eliminate choice (B) if you know the word. The root laud in lauded means praise, as in applaud.
