Question: 243

13. Although the manager's relationship with her assistant had never turned intolerable, it had always been ________ at best.

  • A. cordial
  • B. staunch
  • C. tempestuous
  • D. tenacious

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

C is correct. The key phrases to this question are "had never turned intolerable" and "at best."With these clues, you should be able to conclude that the word you are looking for is not as extreme as "intolerable." Tempestuous (choice C), meaning "tumultuous or stormy," is the correct answer.
