　　7.Ramona had never visited Niagara Falls, but she could appreciate their splendor ------- through the descriptions of others.

　　Answer Choices

　　(A) vicariously

　　(B) heedlessly

　　(C) innocuously

　　(D) mystically

　　(E) voluminously

　　Explanation

　　1.The correct answer is C

　　Only desolate...populated presents the contrast required by the sentence. The words corrected the notion signal that the first word in the correct answer must contrast with the second word because that second word corrects the mistaken notion.

　　2.The correct answer is D

　　A traditionalist is someone who adheres to a time-honored set of practices or beliefs. Inferior to describes something that is of lesser quality or value than something else. An administrator certainly could be a traditionalist, or adhere to time-honored practices. If the new administrator prefers older, established ways of doing things, it makes sense to say that he might consider newer ideas but ultimately, or in the end, decide that they are inferior to, or lesser in value than, older ideas.

　　3.The correct answer is E

　　Choice (E) is the only pair of words that logically completes this sentence. The "adversarial" attitude of the team members would suggest that working together would be quite difficult, or that "cooperation" would be "impossible"; given the project's bad start, its ultimate success would be "remarkable" because nobody would have expected it.

　　4.The correct answer is E

　　Choice (E) is correct. Bickering is the kind of petulant or peevish arguing to which personal dislike might have lead the speakers, but their accord, or agreement, on substantive issues kept them from squabbling.

　　5.The correct answer is D

　　The word merely indicates that the past provisions were not as strict as the mandatory provisions and recommended is the only first term that conveys a lesser degree of strictness. Only violators could logically be penalized by losing their federal research grants.

　　6.The correct answer is E

　　Choice (E) is correct. Facilitating meditation is a function—something valuable about tantra paintings in addition to their beauty.

　　7.The correct answer is A

　　Ramona hadn’t visited Niagara Falls but "could appreciate their splendor," so the word that fills the blank must be an adverb whose definition has to do with appreciating something indirectly, "through the descriptions of others" (based on their experiences). Choice (A) is correct because to experience something "vicariously" is to experience it through imaginative participation in the actual experience of someone else.
