Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

Since the two legislators had a long history of major disagreements, the senator considered his colleague’s enthusiastic assurances that they would be in agreement on a forthcoming piece of legislation -------.

A fatuous

B precious

C sagacious

D meritorious

E ignoble

Correct Answer: A

Here's Why:

Choice (A) is correct. If this term were inserted into the sentence, the sentence would read Since the two legislators had a long history of major disagreements, the senator considered his colleague’s enthusiastic assurances that they would be in agreement on a forthcoming piece of legislation fatuous. It makes sense that the senator, in light of his and his colleague’s shared history of non-cooperation, would consider the colleague’s assurances fatuous, or complacently foolish.
