Question: 283
13. The mayor's suggestion to raise property taxes in order to subsidize a new stadium was met with an _______ response from homeowners.
- A. exuberant
- B. affable
- C. illustrious
- D. ambivalent
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D is correct. Logically you can infer that property owners would not be exuberant (choice A) over the mayor's proposal to raise property taxes in order to fund a new stadium. As well, because exuberant has connotations similar to illustrious (choice C), you should be able to eliminate both answer choices. Ambivalent (choice D), meaning "characterized by a mixture of opposite meanings or attitudes," is correct.
