Question: 308
18. _______ by his _______ lifestyle, King Henry I habitually indulged his every whim until he died of food poisoning in 1135.
- A. Strengthened … gratuitous
- B. Undeterred … gluttonous
- C. Fortified … permissive
- D. Befallen … durable
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B is correct. If you are unsure of the correct word pair in a two-blank question, try focusing on one of the blanks first. Focusing on the first blank, it is unlikely that a person who died of food poisoning would be described as "strengthened" or "fortified" by a lifestyle that "indulged his every whim." Befallen (choice D) is a good first-blank match, however durable does not fit well in the second blank. Undeterred … gluttonous (meaning "indulging in something to excess") is correct.
