Question: 6

6. The rare desert rains often come in _____, causing loss of life and property; thus, people living in an oasis think of rain with _____.

  • A. floods ... longing
  • B. torrents ... terror
  • C. sprinkles ... fear
  • D. winter ... snow

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

The correct answer is (B). Since the desert rains cause loss of life and property, people in an oasis must think of rain with TERROR, choice (B), or fear, choice (C). The word that best fills the first blank will determine whether the correct answer is choice (B) or (C). Sprinkles, choice (C), would be unlikely to cause loss of life and property; TORRENTS, choice (B), is more appropriate.
