Question: 294
4. Despite the player's occasionally _______ play, he recently signed a _______ contract.
- A. stellar … covert
- B. negligent … reticent
- C. sloppy … nebulous
- D. shaky … lucrative
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D is correct. "Despite" is one of the words you may see on the test that signals a contrast within a two-clause sentence. When you come across words or phrases such as "despite," "although," or "even though," keep in mind that the words you are looking for are likely to contrast with each other. Of the choices available, only shaky … lucrative (choice D) offers the sufficient contrast needed to properly convey the logic of the "despite" construction.
