Question: 228

18. Christopher was ------ to have Consuela as a ------, because it is rare for an artist to find someone who is willing and able to provide financial support.

  • A. amused … teacher
  • B. fortunate … benefactor
  • C. lucky … surrogate
  • D. required … patron

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

B

The first blank must reflect that Christopher received rare support, while the second blank must mean financial support, thus requiring fortunate and benefactor (supporter) as the answer.

Do one blank at a time. The first blank, which might seem easier, must reflect that Christopher received rare support, so you can eliminate choices (A) and (D). The second blank must mean financial support, so you can eliminate choice (C) if you know the word. You may need to guess between choices (B) and (C). The Latin root ben means good.
