Question: 200

5. While I attended the reunion with ------, I reconnected with old classmates and attended the various events and parties with a feeling that was positively ------.

• A. detachment … unfeeling
• B. excitement … transitory
• C. nostalgia … vindictive
• D. trepidation … jubilant

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The answer is D

The first blank must be the opposite of feeling positively, whereas the second blank must relate to feeling positively, requiring trepidation (nervousness) and jubilant (joy) as the answer.

Do one blank at a time. The second blank, which might seem easier, must relate to feeling positively, so you can eliminate choice (A), as well as choices (B) and (C) if you know the words. The second blank must be the opposite of feeling positively, so eliminate choice (B), as well as choice (C) if you know the word. You may need to guess after process of elimination.
