Question: 296

6. On the last weekend of summer break at the seashore, the roads were jammed with traffic as the beach _______ with vacationers.

  • A. dispersed
  • B. maintained
  • C. deprecated
  • D. teemed

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

D is correct. Knowing the definitions of the words you have to choose from will help you select the correct answer to this question. Neither dispersed (choice A) nor maintained (choice B) fits the context of the sentence, and both can be eliminated. Deprecated (choice C), meaning "to have expressed disapproval," is incorrect as well. Teemed (choice D), meaning "to have been full of things, abounded, or swarmed," is the only possible correct answer.
