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.

Troy was ------- when he wasn't elected class president: his spirits were so low that there was nothing we could say or do to cheer him up.

(A) unctuous
(B) disconsolate
(C) ebullient
(D) inscrutable
(E) tenacious

答案和解析

答案:B

解析:

To be "disconsolate" is to be cheerless and dejected, or cast down in spirits. The sentence indicates that Troy's spirits were very low — so low, in fact, that nobody could do anything to bring him cheer. It makes sense, then, to describe Troy as disconsolate, or cheerless and dejected, after losing the election.
