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.
