Question: 279

9. Citing overwhelming evidence, many believed the judge would _______ justice by not reversing her earlier decision.

  • A. impel
  • B. hasten
  • C. impede
  • D. gratify

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

C is correct. The logic of this sentence suggests that many people do not agree with an earlier decision the judge made. Impede, meaning "to hinder or obstruct the process of," is the correct answer. Don't be fooled by the similar-looking impel, which means "to urge to action through moral pressure," or "to drive."
