Question: 207
12. Had she shown more ------ and used a more contrite tone when she made her apology, her friends would have been more likely to have ------ her.
- A. authority … ignored
- B. compassion … dismissed
- C. condescension … believed
- D. remorse … forgiven
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
The answer is D
More, contrite, and apology, as well as the contrast between had and would have, require remorse (regret) and forgive as the answer.
Do one blank at a time. The first blank, which might seem easier, must relate to her lack of an apologetic tone, so you can eliminate choices (A) and (B), as well as choice (C) if you know the word. The second blank relates to her friend's reaction to an apology that did not seem apologetic, so you can eliminate choices (A) and (B). You may need to guess after process of elimination.
