Question: 257

7. Carlos knew his goals were not easily ______, but he also knew he had the determination to _______.

  • A. deplorable … succeed
  • B. obtainable … relinquish
  • C. attainable … persevere
  • D. approachable … expel

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

C is correct. Often when you encounter a two-blank question, a good strategy is to try and fill in one of the blanks first so that you can eliminate some of the incorrect answer choices. If you begin with the second blank of this question, you will see that you are able to eliminate choices B and D almost immediately. Now, ask yourself: which sounds better, the fact that Carlos knew his goals were not easily attainable or easily deplorable? Choice C is correct.
