Question: 235

5. The concert featured a number of _______ jazz compositions, and for fans of the music, the evening was an example of harmonic _______.

  • A. spirited . . . bile
  • B. vivacious . . . impasse
  • C. vibrant ...bliss
  • D. choleric . . . euphoria

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

C is correct. It is often easier to solve two-blank sentence completion questions by focusing on one of the blanks and eliminating any obviously wrong answers. Looking at the first blank, you should be able to eliminate choleric (choice D), meaning "easily angered or bad tempered." Choices A, B, and C all offer positive words to describe the jazz compositions. Thus the sense of the sentence requires a positive word for the second blank as well.Only choice C provides two positive words, and it is the best choice.
