Question: 295
5. The company's hope was to _______ short-term sales expectations in order to reward investors and properly _______ the staff.
- A. suspend … compensate
- B. exceed … remunerate
- C. surpass … determine
- D. attest … compromise
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B is correct. Logically, you can assume that a company would not hope to suspend short-term sales expectations, thus, you can eliminate choice A. Choice D can be eliminated as well, as attest makes no sense in the context of the sentence. Of the remaining choices, both choice B and choice C offer appropriate first-blank options; however, it is unlikely that the company had to "properly determine the staff." Remunerate (choice B), meaning "to pay a person a suitable equivalent in return for goods provided, services rendered, or losses incurred," is the correct answer.
