Question: 187
7. When people follow too ------ a budget throughout the year, they are likely to lose control and ------ on vacation and return home to a stack of unpayable bills.
- A. frugal … stint
- B. indulgent … repent
- C. lax … celebrate
- D. strict … splurge
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
The answer is D
The first blank must relate to the opposite of losing control of a budget, while the second blank must relate to losing control of the budget, requiring strict and splurge (spend a lot) as the answer.
Do one blank at a time. The second blank, which might seem easier, must relate to losing control of a budget so you can eliminate choice (C), as well as choices (A) and (B) if you know the words. The first blank must be the opposite of the second blank, so eliminate choice (B) if you know the word. You may need to guess after process of elimination.
