Question: 227
17. Because Rodrigo was a loyal friend, he worked ------ to ------ any belief that the rumors about Erica were true, ending these efforts only after he was sure he had accomplished his goal.
- A. amiably … terminate
- B. fleetingly … question
- C. persistently … dispel
- D. tirelessly … construct
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
C
The first blank must emphasize Rodrigo's efforts, while the second blank must reflect his goal as a loyal friend to end the rumors, thus requiring persistently (tirelessly) and dispel (end) as the answer.
Do one blank at a time. The second blank, which might seem easier, must reflect his goal as a loyal friend to end the rumors, so you can eliminate choices (B) and (D). The first blank must emphasize his efforts, so you can eliminate choice (A) if you know it. You may need to guess between choices (A) and (C). The Latin root ami means friend, and amiably means in a friendly way.
