Question: 287
17. One would think that the _______ bear, fresh from months of hibernation, would eat everything in sight, but he is surprisingly picky.
- A. hirsute
- B. ravenous
- C. fastidious
- D. lethargic
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B is correct. Fastidious (choice C) is incorrect because its meaning is similar to picky, which is contradicted by the conjunction "but." Ravenous (choice B), meaning "extremely hungry," conveys the meaning of the sentence, which is that you would expect the bear to be extremely hungry when in fact he is rather picky. Hirsute means "covered in hair."
