1.Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Clue: The bear stopped the explorer getting to the stream, so the explorer could not quench his thirst.
2.Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
Clue: However indicates the need for an opposite. So we could say that the deficiency is common in the mountains but no longer common in the lowlands. Effectively this means we are looking for similar words since the no longer makes the second blank negative.
Therefore, we choose to say that the deficiency is endemic in the mountains; however, it is no longer prevalent in the lowlands.
3.Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Clue: After the blank we have a phrase intended to explain or amplify the word in the blank. So we need to choose a word that means things that make each person different from the general. Therefore, we choose idiosyncrasies, which are quirks, oddities or things peculiar to one person.
4.Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
Clue: The word orator tells us that Johnson was a fine speaker. It is likely that people were dazzled by his speaking powers or rhetoric.
5.Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Clue: Whereas indicates opposite ideas. So we need a word in contrast to nocturnal . The word is diurnal .
6.Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Clue: The word restraints makes it likely that the woman was limited by these restraints. This would suggest that hampered, fettered, or ensnared might be right. Further, the word and usually indicates that similar things are joined; this indicates that a word like restraints and obligations is needed for the second blank.
Therefore, we choose to say fettered by responsibilities.
7.Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
Clue: The words even after indicate that the relation has not been made clear although the investigation has been going on a long time. Also it would appear that a word like thorough would be best for the first blank. Therefore, extensive investigation seems correct when coupled with the relation remaining enigmatic .
8.Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Clue: The word unevenness indicated that there are ups and downs in his plays. Therefore we need a good word - bad word pair. Insight is a very positive word, while banality is negative; this is the best pair available.
9.Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Clue: Since it is not logic that determines our actions it must be its opposite. Hence, we can say we act because of our feelings not our reason.
10.Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Clue: The word this in the second half is a great help. It tells us that we are referring to something already mentioned. We have been talking about conditions raging in the cosmos, and it would appear that we need two violent words to go with raged. Tumult and cataclysm fit.
11.Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Clue: Turn the sentence around, and fit a word of your own in the blank. The demonstration of the potential threat challenged the assumption that the CFCs would be harmless because they were inert. Innocuous is the best word because it means harmless.
12.Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
Clue: The as followed by as structure indicates similar words are required. Convergence and confluence both imply a coming together.
