Question: 292
2. According to the editorial, the most _______ error the governor made was _______ the public's trust in him by trying to cover up the scandal.
- A. grievous … appeasing
- B. defenseless … gleaning
- C. abhorrent … placating
- D. egregious … breaching
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D is correct. Since all of the first-blank choices seem to fit, you might do better by focusing on the second blank. Because choices A and C are so similar in meaning, you can discount both of them. Gleaning (choice B) means "gathering or collecting bit by bit" and makes no sense in the context of the sentence. Breaching (choice D) means "breaking or violating, especially an agreement," and is clearly the best answer.
