Question: 232

2. The critic dismissed the movie as ________ because of its unlikely plot and improbable dialogue.

  • A. banal
  • B. articulate
  • C. boisterous
  • D. hallowed

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

A is correct. Because the movie features "an unlikely plot and improbable dialogue," you should be able to conclude that the critic did not like it very much. Of the four choices, banal (choice A), meaning "drearily commonplace and often predictable," has the strongest negative connotation.
