Question: 301
11. After the band failed to _______ the audience or sell many tickets, the offer for an extended engagement was _______.
- A. overcome … negated
- B. impress … revoked
- C. accept … approved
- D. inspire … established
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B is correct. The easiest way to solve a two-blank question is by eliminating choices from one of the blanks based on the fact that one answer in the word pair is obviously wrong. Neither overcome (choice A) nor accept (choice C) seems appropriate for the first blank, and thus, they can be discounted. Focusing on the second blank, you can conclude that the band's offer for an extended engagement would likely not be established (choice D) by their failure to inspire the audience. That leaves impress … revoked (choice B) as the only remaining choice, and this is the correct answer.
