Question: 246

16. The teacher had refused to disclose what would be on the test, but as far as the students could_______, it would cover everything since the midterm.

  • A. propose
  • B. deject
  • C. grovel
  • D. surmise

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

D is correct. Sometimes supplying your own answer before looking at the options can help you determine the right choice. Perhaps you came up with the word "guess" or "infer."Even if you don't know the correct answer, you should be able to eliminate some choices that are clearly wrong. Surmise (choice D),meaning "to infer (something) without sufficiently conclusive evidence," is correct.
