Question: 307
17. When the owner provided a _______ certificate of authenticity, the art historian declared the painting a forgery.
- A. legitimate
- B. spurious
- C. turgid
- D. precocious
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B is correct. Likely, you can conclude that if the owner had provided a legitimate (choice A) certificate of authenticity, the art historian would not have declared the painting a forgery. As well, turgid (choice C) means "swollen," or "excessively ornate or complex in style or language," and does not fit the context of the sentence. Precocious (choice D) means "characterized by unusually early development or maturity" and is also wrong. Spurious (choice B), meaning "not genuine" or "lacking authenticity or validity," is correct.
