Question: 282
12. Initially standing by his _______ alibi, the main suspect in the scandal later retracted it and agreed to cooperate with the prosecution.
- A. feasible
- B. incontrovertible
- C. tenuous
- D. furtive
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
C is correct. "Initially" is a key word in this sentence as it conveys the logic that the main suspect later changed his mind and agreed to cooperate with the prosecution. Indeed, had his alibi been foolproof, solid, or feasible (choice A), he likely would have stuck to his original story. So, the word you are looking for is tenuous, meaning "flimsy or having little substance."
