Question: 300
10. Faced with the _______ of babysitting Friday night or going to the movies, Angela decided she would rather earn money than spend money.
- A. endeavor
- B. predicament
- C. dismay
- D. principle
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B is correct. Initially, you may believe that endeavor (choice A), which means "a purposeful or industrious activity," is the correct answer. However, keep in mind that the problem Angela faces is whether she should babysit or go to the movies on Friday night. Knowing she can only do one or the other, you can logically conclude that Angela needs to make a choice. Predicament (choice B), meaning a "situation that requires a choice between two options that are or seem equally unfavorable or mutually exclusive," is the correct answer.
