Question: 297
7. Reports of the senator's _______ displays of wealth have done little to _______ her standing among working-class families or help her bid for reelection.
- A. flagrant … undermine
- B. reserved … solidify
- C. grandiose … curtail
- D. flamboyant … propel
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
C is correct. Reserved (choice B) is easily eliminated as a first-blank choice, and you should notice that the second-blank options for choices A and D are too alike to be distinguishable from each other. That leaves choice C, grandiose … curtail; this is the only pair of words that properly conveys the meaning of the sentence.
