考试类型: Critical Reading > Sentence Completions

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

A. inconsistency . . felicitous

B. variation . . trivial

C. rigidity . . traumatic

D. change . . favorable

E. breach . . ominous

正确答案:E

解析:

While “ominous” comes closest to conveying threat, “traumatic” makes some sense; only “breach,” however, fits logically in the first blank.
