Question: 272

2. Knowing that the bonuses being offered were not easily _______, the union decided not to _______ the new contract.

  • A. attainable … ratify
  • B. reachable … nullify
  • C. restricted … validate
  • D. obtainable … repudiate

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

A is correct. Since choices A, B, and D all have similar first-blank meanings, you can discount choice C and focus on the second-blank choices. Of the three, ratify (meaning "to approve or confirm") is the best choice and works well with the idea that the sentence is trying to convey.
