Question: 254
4. Although her upbringing had been _______, Tonya now lived in the most _______ neighborhood in the county.
- A. modest … dilapidated
- B. humble … affluent
- C. mundane … oppressive
- D. ordinary … sullen
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B is correct. "Although" is another one of the words you may see on the test that signals a contrast within a two-blank sentence. When you come across words or phrases such as "despite," "although," or "even though," keep in mind that the words you are looking for are likely to have opposite meanings. Of the choices available, only humble … affluent (choice B) offers sufficient contrast.
