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.

Ray was ------- gambler who had seldom gone a day without indulging his expensive habit.

(A) an inveterate
(B) a dubious
(C) an occasional
(D) a novice
(E) an obnoxious

答案和解析

答案:A

解析:

Choice (A) is correct. If this term were inserted into the sentence, the sentence would read "Ray was an inveterate gambler who had seldom gone a day without indulging in his expensive habit." The term "inveterate" describes something that is established by a persistent habit. If Ray had "seldom gone a day" without gambling, one could certainly say that gambling was his persistent habit. Therefore, it makes sense to describe Ray as "an inveterate gambler."
