Question: 188

8. Because the actress was known for choosing ------ characters to portray, critics praised her latest role as the villain, a ------ departure sure to surprise her fans.

  • A. despicable … welcome
  • B. sentimental … soothing
  • C. sympathetic … fearless
  • D. volatile … predictable

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

The answer is C

The first blank must mean the opposite of a villain, while the second blank must relate to praise and surprise, requiring sympathetic and fearless as the answer.

Do one blank at a time. The first blank, which might seem easier, must be the opposite of villain, so you can eliminate choice (A), as well as choice (D) if you know the word. The second blank must relate to the praise and surprise, so eliminate choices (B) and (D).
