the word must be different options. Only A
presents two different options.
A. voluntary home
B. master vicinity
C. impermeable
D. failed locality
E. amateur bastions
The best answer is E. The word amateur is a
logical choice after but since turning
professional. Bastion is an appropriate word
to describe where the sport is traditionally
played.
C. upbringings interests
D. backgrounds directions
E. denominations sectors
The best answer is D. It is incorrect to use of
with destinations. Nationalities is incorrect
because only one nationality is mentioned. Of

sense in light of what follows.
Airspan Airlines long and __________ search
for a partner finally __________ last week when
the bankrupt Dutch airline agreed to merge with
Airlex.
A. arduous ended
B. extended concluded
C. joyous consigned
D. fortuitous stopped
E. laborious proceeded
The best answer is A. Since the first blank
comes after long and we can assume it will be
something that will not be a contradiction. This
rules out joyous and fortuitous. The second
blank follows finally. It is logical that the search
ended, and the information is given in the last
part of the sentence.
A. turn reserve
B. dredge abuse
C. float borrow
D. tap own
E. pierce dictate
The best answer is D. Tap into is idiomatic

sense.

proposed by the mayor and school
superintendent __________ make this crimeplagued city the first to experiment with this
approach.
A. test should
B. program would
C. study can
D. class will
E. investigation ought to
The best answer is B. Because the drugtesting is just proposed, i.e. only a possibility,
the second blank should be filled with would.
E. prevalent summit
The best answer is C. Because of the word if,
the first blank must contrast with popular.
Controversial and cumbersome provide a
suitable contrast. Dispersal is illogical.
D. announced bringing
E. alerted raising
The best answer is D. Choice B, C and D can fit
in the first blank. However, only bringing the
number to is idiomatic.
In true entrepreneurial style, Kelly has turned the
popular book into a __________ global business
of books, games, and videos that teach the
__________ of financial freedom that he used to
build his fortune.
A. flourishing whim
B. starving tenet
C. skulking dogma
D. thriving principles
E. pedestrian ideas
The best answer is D. Since it was done in
entrepreneurial style, one would assume that
what Kelly did was successful. Flourishing and
starving are, therefore, apt. For the second
blank, principles is a much better choice since
one does not teach a whim.

C. proclaiming employee
D. stated worker
E. questioning staff member

C. birth apathy
D. version awareness
E. chronicle combo
D. toward elusive
E. near intangible
The best answer is D. Eliminating child
poverty is a goal, thus toward is the best
choice. The word yet indicates that the goal
has not been reach, thus elusive is apt.

B. augmentation cost
C. certification charge
D. drop price
E. increase outlay
A. indicate promotes
B. celebrate showcases
C. substantiate singles out
D. commemorate exonerates
E. honor exemplifies
A. enclosing each
B. including both
C. attaching none
D. containing all
E. enfolding some
The best answer is B. A line of products can
logically be said to include certain items. Both is
the logical choice to refer to two items.
D. periods worse
E. eras greater
The best answer is D. Waiting periods is
idiomatic. The first part of the sentence
discusses something bad (long waits). The
second part of the sentence says that it has
become more pronounced, thus worse is
suitable.
E. resource civilians
The best answer is A. Source of information is
idiomatic, as is general public.

A. doings disordered
B. episodes put out
C. bouts disseminated
D. activities published
E. segments assembled

filled by something of which surveys can be
considered an example, such as activities. Also,
a report being published is logical.
B. planning unwanted
C. demand surplus
D. quota surreptitious
E. billing supercilious
The best answer is C. For the first blank,
choices A and E are illogical. B and D are
ungrammatical. Since production far
outstripped demand, surplus is a logical
choice for the second blank.

for producing concentrated milk in a vacuum,
condensed milk became an important part of
the dairy ___________.
A. an award subject
B. a copyright field
C. a document trade
D. a patent industry
E. power of attorney business
The best answer is D. Choices A and D can
logically fill the first blank, but industry
makes much more sense for the second
choice.
C. simpler tools
D. simplest tissues
E. small pianos
The best answer is D. An expression of the form
The ______ something on earth requires the use
of the superlative (-est) form to fill the blank.
Organs and tissues are both parts of a body so
they logically fit together.
E. obsessed maintaining
The best answer is E. Choices C and D are
illogical. B is incorrect because one cannot
be misguided with something. Choice A is
incorrect because the second blank must be
filled with a gerund form (-ing).
B. enthusiasts marketable
C. detractors economic
D. concordances profitable
E. skeptics wholesale
The best answer is E. One silences opposing
voices, therefore, choices D and E can
logically fill the first blank. Retail and

idiomatic. Revenues is not a word used to
describe payments made by an individual.
A. incentives rental

The best answer is A. Perks, encouragement
and raises are usually given to employees, not
developers. Housing cannot be viable.
A. caroled upping
B. resided increasing
C. loafed raising
D. spent rising
E. squandered starting
The best answer is D. Grammatically, choices A,
B and C cannot fit in the first blank because they
would have to be followed by a preposition.
Choice E is unlikely if the time had been
squandered, Walters would not have risen to the
position of president.
E. allocation milieu
The best answer is C. The phrase as the one x
in an otherwise dreary sets the stage for a
positive word filling the blank.
A. collected detectives
B. amassed suspects
C. accumulated suspicions
D. assembled executors
E. engineered perpetrators
The best answer is B. To amass wealth is
idiomatic. Here the expression is expanded to
refer to a wealth of evidence. Suspects is
appropriate to refer to people accused but not
yet tried.

E. clauses
A. persist
B. impeach
C. command
D. impersonate

someone else to persist. Impeach cannot be
used as in intransitive verb. Since a leader
commands, command is the best response.

C. prepare shower
D. forecast blizzard
E. forbear tornado
A. globemethod
B. earth way
C. planet methodology
D. world means
E. land resources
The best answer is D. While the first four

E. neglects
The best answer is C. Because of the word
despite in the sentence, the blank must be filled
with something that creates a contrast in the
sentence. Continue is the only word that does
this.
