Question: 242

12. The _______ of traveling to see the Aurora Borealis is that while the spectacular display is well worth the trip, it is impossible to predict whether the event will take place during your travels.

  • A. configuration
  • B. prestige
  • C. ingenuity
  • D. paradox

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

D is correct. The logic of this sentence is based on the problem that it is worth traveling to see the Aurora Borealis, but you cannot predict if the spectacular display will take place during your travels. A paradox (choice D) is "a seemingly contradictory statement that may nonetheless be true."Therefore, choice D is correct.
