Question: 261
11. Ultimately, the activists' efforts to _______ the historic building proved _______ and it was soon demolished.
- A. preserve … futile
- B. save … inextricable
- C. restore … flagrant
- D. destroy … abundant
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
A is correct. Because it's unlikely that activists would try to destroy a building that was ultimately torn down, you can eliminate choice D. Inextricable means "so entangled as to make escape impossible," and flagrant means "conspicuously bad, offensive, or reprehensible." Futile means "having no useful result" and best fits the context of the sentence.
