Question: 198

3. The meteorologist had an uneven record of success for the week: while she ------ the path of the blizzard, she ------ the amount of accumulation.

  • A. bungled … misjudged
  • B. directed … lionized
  • C. pinpointed … botched
  • D. predicted … assessed

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

The answer is C

The two blanks must run in contrasting directions, requiring pinpointed and botched as the answer.

It is not possible to do one blank at a time, because you need one blank in order to know the other blank. However, uneven record of success and while indicate that the blanks must run in contrasting directions. So, you can eliminate choices (A) and (D) because the words run in a similar direction and choice (B) because the words do not relate.
