Question: 71

11. His theory is not ____; it only sounds plausible to the uninformed because he ____ several facts and fails to mention the mountain of evidence that contradicts his ideas.

  • A. tenable ... distorts
  • B. pliable ... pursued
  • C. predominant ... embellished
  • D. sufficient ... invokes

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

The correct answer is (A). The first blank might be filled equally well by the first term of choice (A) or choice (D); however, the coordinating "and" implies that the second blank must be filled with something negative that he does to the facts. DISTORTS is the best word here.
