Question: 209

14. Eleanor Roosevelt was a vocal ------ of the rights of minorities and oppressed peoples, leading President Harry Truman to call her the First Lady of the World for her ------ to human rights.

  • A. antagonist … dedication
  • B. defender … commitment
  • C. opponent … access
  • D. supporter … indifference

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

The answer is B

First Lady of the World and human rights require defender and commitment as the answer.

Do one blank at a time. The first blank, which might be easier, must relate to support for human rights because the president honored Roosevelt by calling her First Lady of the World, so you can eliminate choice (C), as well as choice (A) if you know the word. The second blank must have a similar meaning, so eliminate choice (D). If you need to guess between choices (A) and (B), your safer guess is choice (B) because the root ant means against.
