Question: 210

15. The darkening clouds and gusts of wind were a clear sign of the ------ storm, and the sudden loud thunder clap ------ the storm's arrival.

  • A. departing … announced
  • B. fading … missed
  • C. impending … indicated
  • D. waning … marked

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

The answer is C

Darkening clouds and gusts of wind, followed by loud thunder clap, requires impending (about to happen) and indicated as the answer.

Do one blank at a time. The second blank, which might be easier, must mean signaled, because there was a sudden loud thunder clap, so you can eliminate choice (B). The first blank must mean coming because of the darkening clouds and gusts of wind, so eliminate choice (A), as well as choice (D) if you know it. You may need to guess after process of elimination.
