Question: 299

9. Because she had recorded the fastest official time, Cheryl was given _______ from the qualifying races and automatically entered in the state finals.

  • A. an occurrence
  • B. an emulsion
  • C. a quandary
  • D. an exemption

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

D is correct. An exemption is a release from an obligation granted by or as if by an authority. Therefore, choice D is the correct answer and the only choice that fits the context of the sentence. An emulsion (choice B) is "a suspension of one liquid in a second liquid with which the first will not mix" (oil and water for instance), and a quandary (choice C) is "a state of uncertainty or perplexity; a predicament."
