Question: 252
2. Despite the donor's self-proclaimed _______, the museum's board of directors soon realized they would never _______ a dime from him.
- A. benevolence … receive
- B. inhibition … secure
- C. generosity … propose
- D. stature … redeem
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
A is correct. "Despite" is a clue that indicates contrast, and the phrase "self-proclaimed" lets you know that this man might see himself in a way that others do not. So, in spite of the man's self-proclaimed benevolence (meaning an "inclination to perform kind, charitable acts"), the museum's board of directors soon realized they would never receive a dime from him.
