Question: 206

11. Because the couple had conducted a ------ courtship, the announcement of their ------ shocked even their closest friends.

  • A. clandestine … betrothal
  • B. fanciful … bequest
  • C. romantic … nuptials
  • D. traditional … ceremony

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

The answer is A

Courtship, announcement, and shocked require clandestine (secret) and betrothal (engagement) as the answer.

Do one blank at a time. The first blank, which might seem easier, must mean secret because the announcement shocked the friends, so you can eliminate choices (B), (C), and (D). While you do not need to address the second blank at this point, that blank must mean engagement, which would follow a courtship.
