Question: 229
19. Steadman's ------ comments during class impressed his teacher, as few students can express the type of clever ------ that came so naturally to Steadman.
- A. astute … insights
- B. contrite … questions
- C. laudatory … perceptions
- D. shrewd … obstructions
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
A
The first blank must mean clever, while the second blank must relate to a type of comment that is expressed, thus requiring astute (clever) and insights as the answer.
Do one blank at a time. The first blank, which might seem easier, must mean clever, so you can eliminate choices (B) and (C) if you know the words. If not, you will have to rely entirely on the second blank. The second blank must relate to a type of comment that is expressed, so you can eliminate choice (B), as well as choice (D) if you know the word. You may need to guess.
