Question: 255

5. Clearly annoyed with their lack of progress, Mr. Ramirez _______ the members of the orchestra for their _______ approach to practicing outside of school.

  • A. reprimanded … fervid
  • B. scolded … belligerent
  • C. berated … exemplary
  • D. admonished … lackadaisical

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

D is correct. Since all of the first blank answers are synonymous with each other, turn your attention to the second blank. Of the choices available, only a lackadaisical approach (meaning "lacking spirit, liveliness, or interest") to practicing outside of school is likely to lead their instructor to have admonished them.
