  • A. fervent . . . effervescent
  • B. outgoing . . . flippant
  • C. impervious . . . cordial
  • D. cheerful . . . extroverted

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

D is correct.This type of question is known as a vocabulary-in-context question.The key to solving this type of question is to recognize that the meanings of the words you are looking for are located in the sentence.Because Mrs.Dowd is described as "typically full of enthu- siasm and enjoys being around people," you should look for words that have meanings that reflect these characteristics.Cheerful,mean- ing "happy," and extroverted, meaning "outgoing and interested in others," is the only word pair that works in both blanks.
